Update

Well, we are officially in the throws of baseball season (no pun intended!). The boys are excited to have their new teams. Aaron will be on the Rangers and Josh will be a Mariner. Aaron is thrilled, but Josh thinks he got stuck with a wimpy team name. What is intimidating about someone who sails around and catches fish? (Sorry John!) Practice has begun, and opening day is the last Saturday in March. I will post the boy's schedule so that anyone who has the desire can join us for the games.



Things have been pretty calm here otherwise. We went to a minor league hockey game last week- it was pretty fun. The only one who didn't have a great time was Anna. As usual it was taking "forever" and the people behind us thought her tirade was hilarious. Sometimes even as an adult I feel like sticking my tongue out at people! Emma thought it was funny when the grown men were slammed into the wall, and after each goal people threw carrots onto the ice (our team is the Jackalopes).



We are planning a little trip to Bastrop for Spring Break the middle of this month. Dad has turned "Grammy's Forest" into an amusement park- the main attraction is the zip-line. The boys are dying to get back on it, and think it would be fun to send Woody down as well. Sorry boys. Good thing we have insurance.



The big news of today at our house is of course, the much dreaded retirement of Brett Farve from the Packers. His name is spoken with as much familiarity as any member of our family in this house, and at least one of us is greiving heartily today. Subconsiously I feel like I know them personally- I even dreamed once that we went to visit them, and he made Tod drink beer. It was one of those mornings when you wake up and stick your elbow in your husband's ribs. But after having the crap beat out of him for 17 years, he deserves a rest. Good luck, and we'll see you at the Hall of Fame!
