Merry Maids

On Saturday night Samantha had her long awaited ballet recital. She has been looking forward to this since January. The event was held at the historic Paramount in downtown Abilene. It is a beautiful Theatre, and I think it is wonderful that the kids get to perform there. Her group had their very own dressing room, and this of course was very excited. I thought it was great that we didn't have to get ready in the tunnel.

The name of Samantha's performance was Merry Maids. They did a great job and had the most adorable costume.






1st Baseball Game

For over a year now Kase has wanted to "take baseball lessons." So, the Brant family has entered into the world of sports. He has one practice a week and one game a week. Our first game was cancelled because of rain, so we got to play for the first time this weekend.

On Saturday we headed out to the ball field to play our first game. Kase's team the Dodgers was in the field first. The kids rotate positions, and Kase got to stand by the pitcher. They do not keep score and there are no outs, so once the kids get the ball they throw it to the kid at the pitchers mound. So, Kase got to catch the ball a lot, and he really enjoyed that. All the kids get a chance to bat. They get 5 tries to hit the ball and then they get to hit off the tee. The ball is pitched by the coach.



Kase had a fabulous time, and can't wait till practice again on Thursday. The rest of of course had a wonderful time watching.
