Visit with the Preyss'

We got to see our friends Mike and Stacey Preyss and their children for a day over Memorial Day weekend.  It was great to catch up with them!

Pre-K finale

Aiden finished his Pre-K year on 24 May.  The class invited the parents to watch them sing and dance!  He is very excited about going to Kindergarden this fall.

T-ball

Aiden absolutely loved playing t-ball this spring!  His team decided to call themselves the "Cheetahs".  These pictures are from his last game.  He's already asking if he can play again!  I have him enrolled in a baseball camp the first week of June but it's just a few days, not a full season.  I'm hoping we can find a team for him to play on this fall.

I love the sequence of these pictures:

Then he got to play catcher for the first time!

Gooooo...

...Cheetahs!

Trophies!

Destin 2012

We took our annual family trip to Destin in late April.  This year we stayed in two condos that had an adjoining door through the kitchens.  We had lots of room for everyone, and Kelly and her daughters came down for half the week!  Matt even rented a kayak on our last full day and took Aiden out for about an hour.

Easter Egg Hunt

The post had their annual egg hunt on the General's lawn on Sunday, 1 April (no foolin'!).  Actually, it was scheduled for the Saturday before but it rained all day Saturday so it was rescheduled for Sunday afternoon.  It worked out fine, Maura stayed home with Daddy so she could nap while I took Aiden.  The hunts were split into age groups and there were lots of kids!

Waiting patiently before the hunt begins

And he's off!

First t-ball game

Aiden had his first t-ball game on 27 March, and he did so well!!  I swore I took a video but I'm still learning how to use my camera so I must not have punched the record button :(  At least I took a few pics from that night:
