summer, anyone?

Sweet backhand
 

Walking the dog
 

Forehand as a lefty
 

Football: the holy grail
 

His favorite new skill - the snap

We're getting into the swing with summer camps, even tho it still feels like mid spring around here. The boyz are in the perfect storm of park district age groupings, 4-6. They're able to do just about everything together, except football (Kola, ages 3-5) and junior naturalist (ethan, 6-8). They both seem just dandy about not having to share those two activities. Ethan said nervously, "I don't have to do football do I?" While Kola has been waiting for this moment for approximately two years. His reward for a dry night diaper (TMI?) is earning jersey shirts, which are handed down from cousins andrew and jennifer. He would wear them 24/7 if he could.

The boys are also getting some great tennis instruction, and it's good for me to watch all these activities to figure out how to practice with them and give them pointers. I can show them how to be social chairman or how to efficiently multi-task, but throw or catch a ball, they'll have to teach me that some day. xo b/s/e/k
