Lucas

as the Amazing Spiderman:





As the next baseball phenom:



He insists on taking batting practice during warmups at Josh's little league games, and he tries to sneak in an opportunity to run the bases before or after the game too. Thank goodness he is starting t-ball next month, because he wants to play so much.

Josh's team is currently in 2nd place, with a 5-1 record. Josh is still batting first and playing third base. He's made a few outs and his hitting is getting better (although I've also discussed with him the importance of on-base percentage over power hitting, in true A's "moneyball" tradition). He is really enjoying his coaches and teammates, and it's been a fun season so far.

Here are a few more photos, this time from the other baseline:












Go A's!

Happy Easter!

We dyed our eggs on Saturday under beautiful blue skies:





Both of the boys were interested in making deep colors, and in adding multiple colors per egg. Fortunately, those ideas weren't mutually exclusive on most of our attempts. We only ended up with one brown egg.



Sammy is at his best lying in the sun.



While we waited for the eggs to dry, the boys rocked out to some music and Josh practiced his "kick flip" move (video to come, at some point). You can see the motion in his hands in this photo.



Lucas will not be outdone.



Our beautiful eggs!



This morning, Josh and Lucas were most excited to finally receive their Power Ranger Samurai warrior gear packs from Mom and Dad; the Easter Bunny's visit was definitely second fiddle.



Although once they got into their egg hunt, they fully committed!



They were disappointed whenever they found real eggs; they were mainly interested in finding the candy-filled plastic ones! (We should have seen that coming.)



Rangers Together! Samurai Forever!



Happy Easter!
