last week was so beautiful here, really awesome weather, which is unusual for may in phoenix. christopher had tons of projects, tests, big 4th grade stuff during this week of amazing weather. mix in tons of baseball games and practices and our after school time was pretty jam packed. but one day after we took andrew to practice we just had to take a break and soak up some of the weather.
john is a die hard baseball player, always wanting to go outside and play catch. with three siblings playing ball, he wants to be playing too. i think he is the youngest of the boys to hold a glove and step and throw the right way. also, he bats left and throws right - always has - since he was a year old. i want to remember this stuff to tell him when he's older.
since andrew was at practice, christopher asked if john wanted to play catch - what a good big brother.
our street has tons of kids (i think we're up to about 25) - the running joke used to be if you drank the water you'd get pregnant. we all moved in within a couple years of each other (@8-10 years ago now) each with one or two kids, and then one by one we each had one or two more. we continue to have young amazing couples move in and continue to have new babies on the street.
if the kids go out front to play there is about a 99.9% chance that within a few minutes some of the other kids on the street will come out too. which is exactly what happened when the boys were outside playing catch. will, who is the same age as ella, came out and joined them. christopher is really great with the younger kids on the street, as is andrew.
it was a great break for christopher from all his studying...
and how lucky are we to be have this amazing weather here right now.
