Student of the Month and Lots of Baseball Surprises

Carmen was recognized at school on Friday as Student of the Month. She worked so hard this month to be good at school. She has been wanting this all year! I ran over from Wigwam during the assembly to catch her in action at school. She was so cute and excited!
This weekend we went to two spring training baseball games. The first one was Saturday night. It was Goodyear Little League night at the ballpark. The kids ate kettle corn and all the little league players and their families got to go on the field for the national anthem.
Gianni got lucky and was selected to run out onto the field and wait for the players to run out to their spots. Gianni and an older player ran out to their spot at left field. The player that went out to left field where Gianni was positioned was Shelley Duncan from the Indians. He signed a ball for Gianni and shook his hand. Gianni was excited.
Carmen had a special moment as well. While waiting for Gianni, a player or coach..not sure who this is, but he called her over and gave her a ball and took a second to snap a photo..
Today we were back at the park again! Mrs. Merrbaugh's 1st grade class had a day at the ballpark. There were only about 6 kids from the class that went but it was a beautiful and perfect day. Gianni got to hang with some buddies and they actually did a very good job paying attention to the game.
We had a long week and it was nice to stretch out on the grass in the warm sun and feel the breeze. The kids had ice cream and Papa took a nap. Tonight we came home a little red from the sun and worn out. We took showers, popped in a movie, and Carmen fell asleep on the couch at some point between  5:45 and 6:00pm. We just let her sleep and carried her to her room. Another busy week at work coming up. A few more days until Nonna arrives for Easter. We are all excited.
