Quick Update

For the last two weeks our lives have been a blur of trips back and forth to the NICU twice a day. But Benjamin is doing well (eating much better) and will MAYBE be coming home in another week (we hope) if he keeps up the good work.

I know I am not good at answering or returning calls right now, but we appreciate the well wishes and support and we are very close to returning to normal.

The picture is of my beautiful daughter and the lovely flowers my Aunt Jann sent to brighten up our rather ugly hospital room.

Elsa's First Baseball Game

Elsa had her first game last Thursday. She was very nervous because she has never played in a game before. She kept saying that she was going to be the worst player out there. I think that those thoughts disappeared after her first at bat when she hit a triple.


She hit the first pitch and was rounding second base before I could get the camera out and record her running the bases.


She got up to bat 3 times and hit a triple and 2 singles. I was pretty proud. She also made a stop when she was playing shortstop and almost got the runner out. You could tell by the end of the game that she was a lot more confident than when she started the game. It should be a fun year.
