Opening Day Baseball 2010

The first official game of Irvine Pony Baseball is a scrimmage, but we got rained out.  So the boys first game was March 6.  Ryan played against the Cubs.  The team didn't play that well, but Ryan was 3-3 with a single, double, and triple.  The double was an error because the ball rolled through the player's feet, but the triple was a true hit! As for Ethan's 8am game, we had to leave the house by 7:30.  I can say that Ethan's team prefers later games.

Early Start to Decorating

The past few years we have been late starters on inside decorating for Christmas and Chanukah.  But this year, mom and dad took care of business early and the boys appreciated it!  It helped that our Christmas tree was pre-ordered and ready for pick-up December 5th.

Chanukah

This year the boys really were interested in Chanukah celebration.  Every night Ryan and Ethan fought over who would "Light the Lights" in the celebration of Chanukah.

Ethan's First Day of Preschool

Ethan's first school experience was  mommy and daddy's first day too, August 20.  Ethan is currently going to school at Parkside, a special pre-k & k school aimed to meet the needs of challenged students, as a typical peer.  When Erin dropped off Ethan, he knew what to do after watching Ryan the last 2 years.  He quickly said his good-byes to Ryan, Mommy and Grandma and was off to ride the tricycles and play on the equipment.  We knew he was in great hands with his teacher, Mrs. Kara.  She was also Ryan's teacher.  Now Ethan comes home, potty-trained, talking about his exciting days at school.  We couldn't be happier with his placement in this school. 

 

Ethan Reunion

In October Daddy took off to Pennsylvania to visit his family and attend a good friend's wedding. Once a momma's boy, Ethan like his brother slowly realized his true calling...a daddy's boy. Every time daddy comes home, and mommy too, Ethan runs and jumps in my arms. However he still isn't too willing to hand out those kisses. As daddy was gone for 5 days, Ethan was missing his daddy rough time fix. Once I got home, it was time to play hockey, drop the sticks and fight, head to the play ground for some play time, and finally bath and book time. Here is a photo prior to daddy reading Ethan's favorite book, Wow Wow Wubbzy and the Halloween Party.
