Birthdays and Baseball

We were unable to fully participate in the April Birthday Extravaganza this year, but it still seemed like a busy month.  Since our extended families have seven birthday celebrations in April the pocket book can feel a bit tight, but the social schedule usually abounds with activity.  We celebrated Asa's, Eleanor's, and Lillia's birthdays by dining in restaurants of their choosing, and enjoying scrumptious home-made confections at home.

Along with three birthday celebrations we have also been enjoying little league baseball games.  Right now Isaac's team, The Hawks - oops, I mean the Red Wings, no wait, now their the Iron Birds  have won 4 games and lost 3.  They have been on a winning streak.  Isaac is one of the few boys who have not played before, so some of the boys are pretty good.  Isaac, Asa, and Corey have been able to take pleasure in some baseball bonding time while Isaac gets some extra practice.
