yes....I am still here

so, things have been very crazy for the last few weeks. i hope to be able to post a little more often than once every 3 weeks, but im not going to promise anything! it might be 6 weeks until my next post * - )
our weekends have been full of baseball tournaments and softball practice. kane and eleanor are loving it! kane had a close call last monday at baseball practice. he was pitching and one of the bigger kids on the team hit a line drive into kane's lower left ribcage. it was SCARY. that is the worse he has ever gotten hurt. it was just a freak thing that i was even there. i had gotten there before practice was over, and i am always late. i was sitting in the truck with el and shep when one of the other moms came running to the window saying kane just got hit really hard. anyway, to make a long story short. nothing is broken, he set out for a week, you can still see a baseball imprint. we have more baseball this weekend, of course! kane is so excited to get back into the game. last weekend was the first time that he had to set out the entire tournament. it almost killed him. it didnt help that it was like 20 degrees. i so hope that it is warmer this weekend. we will be watching baseball all day saturday (4 games) and most of the day sunday, it will depend on how much they win.
eleanor has started softball practice and should have a game very soon. her coach is worthless!!! i know, it is t-ball. but it is ridiculous that they let any moron that checks the box that he will coach, have his own team. you should at least have to do a coaching clinic. this is doing an injustice to the kids!
my little shepherd has been having trouble biting at mother's day out. he is doing much better now and we pray that it will continue.
