Go A's!

 Baseball and Softball pre-season has begun.  This is always a fun time of year.  It looks like the kids are on good teams and have enjoyed getting to know new teammates and coaches.  Troy is excited to be on the Oakland A's because it is Boppa's favorite team.  He just got his uniform this afternoon and wanted to show it off.

Valentine's-A Little Late

A view into our Valentine's Day... It was fun being a teacher again and receiving fun things on this special day.  Valentine's week included a field trip, a Valentine's party, the Fine Arts Festival and Grandparents' Day (besides baseball, softball, and basketball practice, piano lesson, homework, youth group, etc).  These are all fun things, but make for an overloaded week at school.  

The Rivalry

I didn't get a ton of great pictures, but here are some shots of our gathering in Redlands to watch the Calvin-Hope game this afternoon.  It's fun to gather with friends who have a similar bond to Calvin.  (There were two Hope fans there, too.)  We had a little extra excitement this year with some nice prize give-a-ways.  The kids, as usual, were in and out between the game and the ever exciting video arcade in the next room. In the end, Calvin took a tough loss.  It was a good game, though.  Here's to next time!
