Carson Sports Week in Review
by Wayne

Drew had his first baseball practice (ever) yesterday. Being from Ohio, the thought of an outdoor baseball practice on February 4th was a little foreign to me, and it was chilly by California standards (high 50's), but it was a lot of fun seeing the kids learn the game.  There was a small "mishap" where Drew fell and almost poked his eye out on a water bottle....but other than that...it was a good first practice for the li'l Dodgers.

Claire also got her athlete on by starting gymnastics.  The way she bounds around the house and springs off dangerously high pieces of furniture with little to no parental supervision, we thought gymnastics would be perfect for her.  She seemed to enjoy it, and it looks like we might also be seeing ballet and/or ice skating in her future.

Drew "The Natural" Carson
by Wayne

Drew starts T-ball in a couple weeks, so we bought him all the gear today - bat, balls, glove, shoes, and this tee:

Baseball Tee

Claire even got in on the act with her very own "Disney Fairies" baseball glove and ball....

Fairies Glove

We then headed over to Alta Vista park for Drew's very first introduction to baseball/T-ball.  Well, after setting up the tee, and showing Drew how to hold the bat, stand next to home plate, etc.....his very first swing snaps the base off the plate.  It literally shattered the plastic.  Our little "Natural"...sort of reminded me of this:

Happy 3rd Birthday Claire!

Our little baby girl turned 3 today! Wow how the time flies! It seems like only a few weeks ago that we were rocking her to sleep in her bassinet and now, she's starting preschool next week. Happy Birthday Sweet Claire Elizabeth!

Drew Explains Traffic Lights
by Wayne

We were in the car today and Drew was explaining how traffic lights work.

People really like the color red, so they stop and look at it. 

They don't like green so they leave. 

People sort of like yellow.

Sounds reasonable to me!
