T-Dawgs

It's T-Ball time! I can't believe that it's my turn to be sitting on the bleachers. The best part?.....she LOVES it! Ok ok so she has only had 2 practices and one game but so far so good. Here are some pictures of the first game. Rachel did great. Went 3 for 3 (what a natural heh?) and even got to field a couple of balls. Focusing before her first at bat....

Look at that swing!


Speedy quick!

Safe at first whew....it was a close one...can you see the how ready the little boy at first base is to catch the ball and get Rachel out?

"I'm thinkin' like a first grader!"

Rachel has been hard at work at school and I realized it's been quite awhile since I've mentioned what she's up to. As most of you know, we're on year round school so Rachel's year starts in July and ends in June. We are only 12 weeks away from first grade folks! (that includes her 3 week break so really only 9 weeks left!) It's amazing what they do in kindergarten. She's doing addition and reading short stories like the one in the picture. Scruffy and Sam have become part of our weekly lives! Last week she asked me if we could "discuss the dog's attributes". I've decided I may need to hire a tutor as she gets older.....for me.

Rachel hard at work on her homework.


Sam and Scruffy stories--they really work on not only reading but understanding and re-telling the story. (and discussing attributes apparently)
