 Tryouts!

Danny getting ready to snipe in his first game; Grandpa Lee and Grandma Steffy had the early-morning duties and cousin Kaiya took the photos.

 Here's Leigh's former pre-school teacher stopping by the house to keep her academics up. Hanako likes to butt in, Danny too.

 And then Casey.

Happy Birthday Leigh!

Leigh started her birthday off right, with puke-fest around 3 in the morning. Too bad it wasn't her 21st birthday.

Hanako thought 3am was a good time to start the day, so they napped hard in the afternoon.

Hanako is sleeping in this picture. For at least an hour, if not two.

Danny turns 6!

A busy Friday and weekend for Danny.  Morning presents with his sisters.

 Swimming after school.

  Monkeys.

  A boat of sushi.

  Soccer on Saturday.

These other Under-6's were in Kindergarten and were not prepared for a first grader's intensity.  He started slide-tackling everyone and got some words from the ref.  I asked him where he learned how to do that and he answered, "I saw it on TV."

  Down goes orange!

  Saturday afternoon football practice.

  Leigh playing with Danny's friend's sister.

  Sunday morning, building the Black Pearl.

  Afternoon birthday party.
