Oh, my wife, what a fashion beauty she is.
She created her very own capri's.
Now if she would just wear her baby blue rubber boots we
would have a complete outfit. Oh, and
don't think she won't have that combo on at some point! I'll blog it when it happens.
Temperature at 85!
Already had the sprinkler out to water the kids.
We hear you must water them as it helps in their growth.
World renowned violinist ~ Midori
Cole's strings class was visited by Midori, originally from
Japan and has been performing since she was 4 years old.
Also with Midori was Moni Simeonov from Bulgaria.
They each played for the strings class and then the class
played for them. Midori & Moni
spent about a half hour instructing the class including playing with them. Incredible to have such talent
teaching and playing for the kids.
The local news station was also there which was really fun
for the students.
Cole was asked if he could be interview about his experience
and of course he said yes! He does love
to talk.
(I have attached a recording of the news bit, please click
on our actual blog to see it along with Cole playing Star Wars at home for
you.)
We had to record the 5:30 / 6:00 & 11:00 news so Cole
could see if any of the stories were different each hour. Cole was happy they got his name spelled
correctly too.
Cole: "I spelled my last name to them saying 'hyphen'
in the middle, not a space and look they got it right."
Baseball
Last practice before our first game and it was a Parent
against the team game.
Cole is playing short stop, third base and catcher this year
and Oma is again behind the pitching machine.
Opening Ceremonies
NO RAIN! It was a
beautiful day out for the Opening Ceremonies.
The boys marched in looking proud and a little embarrassed
at the attention of marching in front of everyone.
The first pitch of the season was thrown out by Lois
Youngen.
HOW COOL IS THAT!
She played as a catcher in the AAGPBL from 1951 through
1954.
(All-American Girls Professional Baseball League)
I just wanted to shake her hand, touch her? Living History.
Eugene Marathon!
Nope, didn't run it or even walk it!
However we tried to support some close friends who have been
training for months to run the full 26.2 miles!
We all jumped up around 7am to start working on their sign.
Yup...we were all up...
Ok, three of the four were up coloring.
And we finished in time to do a donut run and get out to the
bike path.
Around mile 19...
And here they are! Jennifer, Kristin, Jen and Tracy.
Smiles and happy to see them and us.
We moved to the other side of the river to cheer them on
around mile 23.
Look, they are still
smiling as we waived, cheered and encouraged them on.
Our sign was a hit with many of the Marathoners.
Only a few here and there said we were teasing them with
beer.
GREAT JOB Thirsty Beavers!
You earned those medals along with your spirits!
Inspirational to everyone.
April Showers to end the month. Kind of fitting!
Bring on the May Flowers.
