(other than Legos and drawing, of course). 

In Max’s sports experience so far, soccer is okay, sometimes fun, and basketball was tough, and not that much fun.

He was deeply in love with baseball even before the first game; his eyes shone when he picked up his new uniform.  And it only got better from there.  Amazingly, with very little practice, he could hit quite well, getting at least a single almost every time he went to bat.  He is a complete lefty in everything else, but he would hit right-handed.  Catching still needs some work, of course.  It was quite humorous to watch him get a home run, that was really just a grounder that none of the little boys could seem to get their hands on.  😉

Here’s some neat pics taken by a local sports photographer, who sells to the Little League parents.

Go Cardinals!!

This is one Max drew from looking at a ‘bad guy’ on a DVD box.  I think it’s his best face likeness to date. 

After church, we were changing into shorts, and I said to the kids, “we’re going somewhere fun!”  They asked where, and I said, “We’re going to a special place where we’ll fold socks for 2 hours!”  Matt added, “for the poor kids!”  (We are always tucking away little toys, clothes, etc to keep for ‘the poor kids’ who will receive the Love in a Shoebox packages we make in the fall.)  Max (who apparently fell for it) whined, “I don’t want to fold socks for the poorrrr kidsssss!”  Lucy asked, “Will there be pink socks?”

This is Indiana Jones, the Legoman.  (We’re far away from him seeing the real guy).  🙂
