Why, yes, it has been a while...  These are some recent pictures of the boys, and I'll work backwards from here and post a few more...

Ben played baseball this season and *really* enjoyed it (so much better than T-ball last year).  The coaches were great and the boys all got to cycle through different positions each game.  Yesterday was the last game of the season and Ben was very busy at first base.  Despite just getting over a couple of illnesses, he had a great time.  He was chosen as "player of the game" and the team went out for ice cream afterwards.

Spencer got to watch quite a few of Ben's baseball games, though he definitely preferred the school playground and his best new friend, Caroline.  Unfortunately, most of the Saturday games were in the early afternoon... nap time... so Spence didn't get to stay for the whole time.

School is out for the summer!  The first day of summer vacation what did we do?  Well, the boys were all sick!  Not a good way to start things out, but (knock on wood) everyone seems to be feeling better now.  The pollen is THICK right now and Ben seems to be pretty affected (hoarse voice & red eyes), but it didn't stop all three boys from swimming today.
