Is it Baseball (Softball) season yet?

It has been a fairly nice winter here in the High Desert - actually kinda warm on some days. We did have a little snow last Saturday but nothing that didn't disappear quickly. I love living here - we have a little bit of sunshine almost every day. Granted it can be shining bright and within the next hour snowing (just ask May and Ronnie) - at least it keeps us on our toes. There was one day last week that made me positively feel like it was baseball weather! I am so ready to get out my blankie, my new umbrella, my new long johns and my gloves with the built in spot for hand warmers!! :-)


Megan has had a pretty good last couple of weeks. She did have to get her last vaccine and got a little sick after. She had a sore throat and cold going into the weekend and I don't think the shot helped her along. She was sick on Superbowl Sunday with a fever and stayed home Monday. She was back in school on Tuesday and feeling good. She and David went up to Seattle this weekend for Chinese New Year. I know she was anxious to see all our family and play with her baby cousins. She is so good with the little kids and they follow her around like the Pied Piper. She continues to do awesome in school - I am so proud of her and how hard she works!!

Connor is doing good. He was struggling a little with his basketball but seems to have turned it around. As one of his coaches put it - "your back..." His last game he scored 17 points!! It was really nice to see him playing like his usual self and not struggling like the past couple of games. He has still been sitting up on the Varsity bench and getting a few minutes of playing time here and there. He admitted that he needs to keep his focus on basketball but the siren call of baseball is awfully tempting! He has done a few pitching lessons with Scott Anderson at the Field House and did a batting clinic with Jeff McKay of BBNW.  Connor has had a couple of tests and done really well.  He is esp. good at math and languages - unlike his dear old mom.  I am sure the whole math thing comes from David!!

We are excited that David's sister Kim has begun the adoption process in Kazakhstan. She has met the little guy who is going to be her son. All we are waiting for is her court date - next Wednesday. Please send good thoughts and prayers her way that everything goes smoothly and that a sweet little nine month old boy in Kaz will become our nephew!!

Work has been crazy busy. I am expected to work at least 50 hours a week and that's been a bit of a struggle. It's not much fun but I am managing to only have to work a short day on Sat. so I still have quite a bit of my weekend. We are swamped but that's a good thing!!


Love DNCM
