Take me out to the ballgame...

It must be summer!
Baseball season has started.  And Mathias has decided to give it a try. Tonight was the first practice of coach-pitch baseball for team Emerald. Mathias is off to a good start with a few good hits. So far they are just using whiffle balls. But I'm sure actual baseballs won't be far behind!

Lost: 3 teeth

Mathias came home from school the other day and announced that he had lost the tooth that had been lose for about a month.  But not only that: two other kids in his class had also lost teeth. It seems his teacher convinced them all to pull their teeth out. 
That Mrs. Kern is quite something!

Mother's Day

The boys hatched a plan to bring mom donuts for breakfast on Mother's day.
By sneaking out of the house in the morning we also gave mom the added benefit of getting to sleep in. Lately the boys have been up at 6 in the morning so that's no small bonus!

Biking

After the winter that just wouldn't quit, the snow melted and spring is finally here! 
I think somewhere in the back of our minds we were thinking about getting a bike for Johan for his birthday. But since that's September and he'd miss out on 4 month of snow-free ground and sunshine, we decided to accelerate the addition to the garage.  He is now the very excited owner of a 20-inch bike that matches the one his brother uses for zipping around. 
I'm sure come September 8th he'll remember that the bike was supposed to be for his birthday, right?!
