Swinging, throwing, drawing, and shooting

Spring is in full swing, so let's play ball! Ole started T-ball last week. He's consistently reluctant to try new things, but admitted it was "pretty fun" after the first practice.



We played catch in the yard to practice his new skills, and after, Ole drew this picture of us. This one just got me right in the heart.

Drawing has become the new thing around here, much to our delight. I'm constantly sneaking peaks at Google images for reference in drawing cyborgs or bulldozers. Below is a still life of his oatmeal, drawn while he waits for it to cool.

Superman and Batman, obviously.

The other excitement in our lives this week is a new tire swing. The folks at Les Schwab were kind enough to find us the perfect (free!) tire for swinging. I fumbled with different knots and finally settled on "that'll do." So much fun!

 

I can't help but add a few more springy shots. I'm doing the happy dance this week as my new camera has arrived. I should probably crack open the directions to learn the details, but I'm thrilled to have a camera that takes decent shots right out of the box.
