Sports and Stuff

You can yell, scream, jump up and down, and throw any kind of rant and rave you want...but I just can't seem to get the blogging thing down! It's so much easier to post on Facebook now, but I did want to do an update.
Eli lost his third tooth - first of the top ones, while the other is on it's way shortly. What a goobs! He's such a little man. Doing really good in kindergarten. Smart kid. His teacher is amazing and gives him, and a couple other kids who are excelling, extra work. It's great that he's being challenged.
Javen is in baseball right now. First year, so it's definitely a learning experience for us all. He's getting better each and every time he steps out on the field. The kid just won't give up! It's amazing how much time is spent at the field. We're getting good at quick meals that you can pack.
On another note - Jave is finally seeing his growth. His shorts and shirts from last summer are too small, and he's even grown out of some t-shirts that used to be way too big for him. He's encouraged and getting more confidence in himself.
Here's Eli playing soccer. He's pretty natural at it, and loves hanging out with his friends. The coach is really good - patient! It's fun to watch the games b/c kids make me laugh!
He's always looking for an excuse to drink his Gatorade (it's a novelty for them to have it). Unfortunately, it runs right through him, and he ran off the field to pee mid-game on Saturday. Kind of funny :)
Lena's in softball. First year, but she's learning pretty well how to control her lanky limbs finally! She loves that they get visors. Looking forward to playing a game as everything is pretty basic right now. She's becoming quite the little lady. Drives me nuts sometimes with her girly-ness, but it's fun to see her becoming her own person.
Here's a shot of her with her visor :)

I hope all is well with everyone. We look forward to hearing from you. Lots of love.
