14 December

Tee ball today. And grocery shopping. Kids LOVE grocery shopping...

The photo for today? The woman behind the lens. I can't even believe the camera focused so well. I literally stood in front of the mirror and pointed up kinda sorta and pushed the shutter release. didn't look at the exposure or anything...

back to tee ball for a sec, it's a total mix there, mutts of all sorts. One Mom is 1/4 American (or half?) and we got to chatting today. Turns out, she's a flight attendant! Awesome, she said: need anything? Let me know, I love to go shopping when I'm in the States...!

some photos (from last week) of the kids playing.

warming up before starting drill-practice. never knew how difficult arm-circles are, or touching toes for that matter!

This one is pretty damn amazing at catching ground balls. I always sucked at those!

Getting ready for the line-up. Miss G is chatting up the coach's son. She is quite taken with him, the little squirt, which is good, because he's probably the reason she decided to stick with tee ball!

They never get put on the same team. G is on 2nd for this inning, D is getting ready to run to 3rd.

And here, she was first base-man and he's OFF to 2nd!

SA-WING!

Merry Christmas to Me from Me! The ring? It didn't fit *sniff* and is being exchanged. The new one won't be here until the 23rd, if I'm lucky, otherwise it'll be after Christmas, which is okay...because it's also my birthday present.

And I have to share this, in case Miss K is ever reading the blog (I know, I neglected it for a year...) but this is something she gifted me like 12+ years ago. I was never able to hang it, because I couldn't get the plug for it and someone kept saying he'd wire one for me, but it never happened. So this year, we were at Ikea and I bought one of THEIR stars, just for the plug (my star is so much better!)
