Tis the spring season in Arizona and now time to start Tball.  This is the first time in baseball for Nick so he is in a league lower than I might normally put him.  He should learn the skills quick and be able to move up next time.  Thus he is on the same team as Adam.  Adam really took to practice (and taking water breaks).  This is Adam's first organized sport so big day for him.

So some times we chill out, other times we are ridiculously active. This last week leaned towards the later.  First and foremost (mostly for the fact that it is unlikely to happen again) Dad ran a Marathon.  That was crazy, 4hrs and 27min of running, avg of 10:12 per mile for 26.2 miles.  I tend not to get to too wrapped up in my activities but this one, well I will be happy for.  It is a Long Damn Way.  I was happy to see Jen and the kids at the 20mile mark, it got me from a rough patch at 17mi to the 20mi in a good frame of mind.


While I had a good run, Adam had a good transition from toddlers (how was he a toddler after about 2 weeks into his 2nd birthday) as he moved to A2 under Mr. Will and Mrs. Patrice.  He is loving his new room (though missing his Barb and Yoyo and Holly and Sharon) and most enjoys his new play ground.


Nick is excelling at soccer.  He is scoring at a nice clip, hopefully he is able to keep it up later in life.  After this session he will move to baseball and maybe some basket ball.  Soccer if my favorite so I hope he likes it the most but we will let him decide.  As for soccer, I think he would end up as a defender, he will score about 10 goals a game but will talk to me about the 4 goals he stopped during the game.
