Thunder Road

Lots of pictures of Michael lately, but in all the craziness we haven't had a chance to post on the little guy's T-ball resurgence.  He's in his second year, this time on the Thunder!  Dad is an official assistant coach this year, which has added to Michael's interest a little bit.  The poor kid hasn't had much practice time with the uncooperative weather, but we've managed to get two games under his belt.  One of the team moms broke out the digital camera this past Saturday, taking 250+ pictures.  This one was a particularly good one (Traci calls it "pure joy").  More to come as the season continues...

They grow up so fast, don't they?

Good Numbers!

Nevie finally had her three year well visit this morning.  She really has matured a lot in the past year as the doc could not believe that this Nevie 2.0 (calm, cool, collected, answering every question with a laugh/smile) was the same person as last year's Nevie 1.0 (screaming, crying, thrashing, complaining of bloody murder).  I guess that is one benefit of our whole vomiting/anemia era of last summer:  Neve is now completely used to the doctor's office.  Speaking of anemia, our little lady did get a blood prick today to test her hemoglobin counts.  Our doc literally did a little jig as her numbers had elevated from a perilously low 5 count to a perfectly normal 11.9!!!  No more anemia for our gal!!  Otherwise, the doc was amazed at her verbal and cognitive skills, while assuring us that her motor skills were right on par.  She did suggest that, even though Neve thinks that she can keep up with her older siblings' schedules, she may need a little more sleep.  (No argument here!)  Anyway, all is well, even with her usual measurements:  H - 37 1/8 inches (48th percentile), W - 31.2 lbs (52nd).
