A little more t-ball

I thought I was having trouble uploading the pictures and video last night, but this morning everything seemed to be fine. Here are some more video/pictures from the game last night:




In this video, Joshua is finishing his run of the bases. He did a great job following the action of the game, and knew when to run to the next base!

Getting ready for the game to begin. The teams meet for prayer (this is the YMCA, afterall).


As Joshua takes his position in the field, Coach George explains what he should be doing out there. Joshua paid good attention, but not too many balls broke through the infielders during that inning. An inning in t-ball consists of all players getting a turn at bat. No score is kept, but every player runs all bases until each team member has batted.

The batting line-up on the bench. It's hard to wait your turn to bat. Coach George has everyone go in order of their number on their back so that it's fair.

First T-ball game

Today was Joshua's first t-ball game. Everyone did a great job! Coach George makes everyone work hard, but play well together. Here's a taste of the game today: GO TIGERS!

Hannah got her hair cut!

Hannah took her own picture while looking in a mirror. She looks like serious business!
















This explains a lot, doesn't it?

T-ball

Today's my first T-ball game, and I'm ready to go!! My team is called the Tigers. Don't I look cool?

Went walking on the property today to watch the progress

I can hardly wait to live among the trees on our property. The house is finally underway, and we took the opportunity to wander and dream of our garden area...what we will put here...or there...

Meandering down our path...



and over to the "future" garden. We imagine some flowers, a nice path, a bench for sitting and listening to the creek (when there's water), and maybe a little wooden bridge for crossing to the other side so you can go from the back of the property to the front or vice-versa. What do you think?

More Arts Festival...

Here is Sarah with her paintings.

There was an expressive dance at the opening of the program portion of the festival.
This is Beth Pearson and her daughter. Beth organized the whole event.

Homeschool Arts Festival

This Arts Festival was held at our church. Many of us participated. Rebekah did a dramatic reading of "Hungry Mungry" by Shel Silverstein. Sarah displayed two of her paintings: "Blazing Sunset," and "Quiet Garden". Hannah made the cakes for the reception (many were impressed with her culinary art...and it tasted good too!). Josiah dressed nicely and was a welcoming door man. And I planned the cookies and punch for the reception.
