Kindergarten Mother's Day Tea

This Happened!

Our baby (who obviously isn't actually a baby anymore) lost his first tooth! The new tooth had been coming in behind his slowly loosening baby tooth for some time so we've been anxiously awaiting this one coming out. Fun fact: when the permanent tooth comes in before the baby tooth falls out it's called shark teeth because sharks have a double row of teeth. Parker thought it was pretty cool to have shark teeth. He also thought it was pretty cool to wiggle his loose tooth constantly. So at dinner I finally asked him if I could give it a little tug and the tooth practically fell out in my hand. Next fun topic for Parker: The Tooth Fairy.

The Undefeated Golden Eagles

David is coaching Parker's T-ball team again this year. They are in fact undefeated, but they don't actually keep score. They named themselves The Golden Eagles and I'm pretty sure they are only slightly less graceful and powerful than the bird they're named after. Parker still isn't convinced that he likes t-ball, but he sure does love spending time with his Papa and David does an amazing job of coaching. Somehow he's able to get the team of 3-6 year olds organized (picture someone herding cats), teach them the basics of t-ball, and generally get them pumped up about the whole experience. He has the kids chant four rules before and after each game: 1) Have fun. 2) Try hard. 3) Be kind. 4) Practice unbelievable discipline.

It's a work in progress.

Happy Easter!

We were still trying to get back on Seattle time after returning from Kauai, but we made it to church Easter morning to celebrate that Christ is Risen! Afterwards, the boys searched the house for where the Easter bunny hid their Easter baskets and for dinner we dined on Easter ham.

Christ is Risen....Indeed! Halleluiah!

The Pannonis host an annual Easter Egg Hunt and Brunch, but since they too were just returning from Kauai they decided to have it before the trip. Unfortunately Parker had to leave before the actual hunt in order to make it to his T-ball game, but Conway and Monroe had a great time "searching" for eggs with a bunch of friends...
