Tee Ball

Danny's first day of tee-ball.  The last time he was in an A's outfit he was much smaller.

 Captain Serious.

 

 

 

The team is 37.5% girls.

 

Happy Birthday Leigh

With the help of two sibling life-coaches, Leigh is doing more than just reading, like climbing and sliding.

Leigh can f-ing Read

Leigh smashed her face two nights ago, loosening up a tooth and making her look like a plastic surgery patient after a lip plumping injection gone bad. Susannah took her to the dentist yesterday and Leigh started reading some books she had never seen before. We had assumed she was just repeating memorized books to herself when she snuck into Danny's room to read books by herself.

Here she is, reading Danny's word ring. His kindergarten teacher tells us these are first grade words that he is working on "sight recognition" of. Leigh has them down, without ever practicing a word ring before. She is wearing my safety glasses just because she can.


Needless to say, this development made us quite happy.

Playground

Everyone got some slide time in.And the teeter-totter.
Posing.

Tide Pools

We went exploring across the street today, into a different marsh.
Picking up a dead crab.Taking a photo souvenir.
Hanako is my baseball buddy when Danny decides playing with the neighbor is more fun.She even gets the ball herself.

Off to watch a Yale baseball game.
Cotton candy is messy!The game.The house.
