A new year

We have had a pretty low key January. Last week I joined Nathan's class for a field trip to the Gallo Center for the Arts. They watched a children's play called Lilly's purple plastic purse. Nathan was so excited to be riding in a bus for the first time and seemed to like the play.

 

It has been foggy and cold most of the month but last week it was sunny and warm. The perfect weather to spend more time outdoors. This year I really want to try and get the boys outside more often. Dave felt the same, so he sold his project '56 Belair and then surprised the boys with a new playground for the backyard. They love it! 

I actually managed to remember to sign Nathan up for little league. I have been wanting to sign him up since last year for baseball and soccer but always seemed to miss the sign up dates. Being new to the sports programs I never realized you actually had to sign them up 2-3 months before the season started. I kind of felt bad that Nathan never got a chance to play t-ball but he is very excited to play baseball. He asked dad to help him practice yesterday. So Dave spent some time teaching Nathan how to bat and then threw him some pitches.
