All sorts of things. Including the Game Ball!

We were in Avon for Nanny's birthday in March.  Happy birthday Nanny

Hi Cuz's

Sophie was winding down at school. On top of all the other fun, there was face painting!

And Noah's class went to see the Native American exhibit at the Penn Museum.   David and Kathy both got to join the class for a little bit.  Noah was hanging out with his friends waiting to go in.

In the museum.  Deep in thought.

Our elliptical machine is finally getting some use in the basement!

Dollface

Bubble bath time....

We got to go to another Phillies game.  Mom and super fan Sophie!

This guy was walking around Citizen's Bank Park.

And what's a baseball game without ice cream??

Finally late spring and warm weather was here.  We had a lot of gardening to do.  David and Sophie were planting a watermelon garden.  Sophie was helping with the mulch and soil, driving it around on her jeep.

The watermelon plants had to be started in doors a few weeks early.  here they come!

Meanwhile, both kids were playing baseball.  Noah is at bat.  He had a great season.  His team was "OK" but  Noah did really well.  He hit in every game.

Going after a high pitch.  But he hit it and got a single, and  an RBI.

Sophie was over at the T ball field.  She has great form!

Here she comes down the driveway

Learning lacrosse.

And just being super cute.

Back at the baseball field, Noah got the game ball for getting 2 hits, and the game winning RBI.  In fact, Noah was the only kid on the team to earn the game ball twice. 

Sophie got the game ball on her team, the Blue Rocks.

Each week in Sophie's school, someone is selected to be the "Star of the Week".  This week was Sophie.  You have to make a poster telling all about yourself.  On the left you can see photos from her first year, second year and third year in Temple Sholom pre-school.  All taken on the first day of school going inside.  Then she drew a picture of her family (Right to left is Sophie, Noah, mom, data, nanny, poppy, kay, grampy), her house, her tree house and some other important photos that she picked out.  

Oh no.......

Springtime fun at home

Hey....what did I do???

Sophie has been playing T ball.  She is FAST and runs like the wind.  Here she is practicing at home.

Out in the backyard on our roller coaster with her friend

Sophie and Abby.  Abby goes to school with Sophie and now they go to Arrowhead camp together as well.  They're on the same bus and have been playing a lot together this summer.

Noah is the only one who can comb Sophie's hair without making her whine.  

Out on the T ball field.  Great form Sophie!

On this rainy day, there was mean Wii tournament with Noah, Sophie and Noah's friends Charlie and Joseph.

Taking a break after the game with all the girls.  That's Sophie, #4.

What better way to enjoy a warm summer night than Dairy Queen with Ashley.

And to think she used to have blue eyes!

Silly!

Sophie also went to a sports club once a week this spring.  Here she is hitting the balloon  with a noodle

Sophie, Abbey,  and Ashley playing in the Family Room

That's my boy.  Noah and David were out shopping for Mother's day and stopped for a small snack.

Phillies and Be The Match Walk-Run Fund Raiser

The Phillies are awful this year, but we were off the a sunny Saturday afternoon game.  Noah was busy so David and Sophie went together.  Number 1 Phillies fan!

What's a game without cotton candy!

Oh....and water ice!  Cherrry.  Red for Phillies.

The next day was the Walk/Run fundraiser for the National Marrow Donor Program (Be The Match Registry), and we all went out to run (or walk).  We had a team of over 100 people from Penn and that raised over $10,000.  Noah and Sophie were awesome walking and running on and off the 5k distance.  Here is part of our team with Greg, Gabrieel and Scarlett.  Kathy and Sophie of course.  MaryBeth and Brian, and Holly with her daughter Clara.

And this was our whole team.

Sophie is lining up for the "Tot Trot"

Getting ready to run.

Greg, Hudson and Noah taking a break from running.

And there go the girls!  Sophie is in a blue shirt...

Need a break!

Tired after a long run!
