Just doin' our thing...

...and doing it well!

We've been back from Spring Training for about a week plus now, and things are back to normal. Ryan's back from his preschool "Spring Break," Sierra's going to her dance class every week, and Lorey's read like 15 books in the last week (okay, a small exaggeration, but she's close!). I've been working (even worked an extra day this week for some reason...) and played baseball today. We lost although I pitched pretty well, and after 8-plus innings, this could be a long week of recovery. :)

The weather has been really nice here the last week or so, as well. Today it's windy and so-so, but can't complain about 70s and 80s through the past week. Believe me, when we hit 110 or so, then you'll hear my whining.

We went and saw the movie "21" last night and it was pretty good. It's no Rounders, but for a "gambling" movie, it was pretty interesting. It is (loosely, I'd assume) based on the MIT blackjack team and how they took Vegas for a bunch of money by counting cards. There's also a book on the subject, which if I ever decide to read a book, will be my next. We also had dinner and had a nice night out.

Beyond that, just normalcy wreaking havoc, which is never too bad. For good measure, here are a couple pics of the kids with Easter clothes on. Until next time!

A successful Easter hunt!

Mike,

Cool easter pics.

You are playing in a baseball league? I am jealous. I haven't played any real ball since HS. Just lame softball leagues. I am sure you pitched just fine although you are getting pretty old :)

Mike and Lorey!
I'm pretty sure I haven't seen either of you since our 5-year class reunion. Gosh, a lot has happened since then! Look at you guys! Looks like you're living a great life out there in the desert.

Your kids are darling. I think Ryan is a total mini-Mike and looking at Sierra takes me back to fifth grade with Lorey. So cute!

I have to say, I'm totally jealous of your spring training vacay. It looks like you had such a great time. I caught the spring training bug two years ago when we were living in AZ.

It's fun catching a small glimpse into your family life. I love this whole blogging world!

(do you mind if I add you to my side bar?)
