I see inactivity has hit the blog -- guess the honeymoon is over and you'll have to put up with reading my updates :)
Kade had his first T-ball game Saturday. I had been warned by a co-worker that there would be some kids who would be rather remedial in throwing or hitting a ball off a tee. I wasn't prepared for this type of ineptness, though.
There were kids there that had no idea how to hold a bat, throw a ball or even how to wear a baseball hat. It was painfully obvious which kids were neglected when it came time for dad to play catch in the backyard. Some kids just didn't want to be there, but the parents probably felt obligated since, well, that's what boys are supposed to be into, right?
I went for a 40-mile solo bike ride on Sunday. I'm getting ready for the Tour De Nebraska in another week and a half. The TDN, as it's referred to, is 300+ mile, five-day bike tour. I did it last year, so I know what I'm in for. This year's route starts in St. Paul, so I'm catching a ride with another cyclist to the starting point. I hope we can avoid the stormy weather.
Bobbie ran a 10k in Lincoln on Saturday (I think it was a 10k). She said it was miserable -- very humid and windy. Apparently, several people were carted off in ambulances -- she was not one of them, thankfully.
Oh and Friday night, we went to the races -- horse races at Lincoln's State Fair Park! Kade had a great time as did Bobbie and I. As Bobbie said "It's a great family event as long as you can get past the smoking, drinking and gambling part" -- in other words, my kinda place! Bobbie was the only one who won a race -- $7 to win. I let Kade pick a couple horses for me, but he wasn't any better than me. Is it bad parenting to let your 4-year-old pick horses?
That is all for now -- toodles, everybody.

Ya know they say the same thing about Vegas...if you can get past the smoking, drinking, and gambling, it's a great family place!
I'm glad to hear you're having a great start to summer! So many activities, how do you keep up with them all? I enjoy reading all about them! David is so excited about Kade playing t-ball! I wish we could make it to a game. How long does the season last?
Hey Kevin, are you playing ball this summer? Congrats on the cycling. I think the TDN sounds awesome. I'd much rather be bking than running like your crazy wife!
Keep blogging! I love to read it all!
Jill -- I am playing ball this summer one night a week. As we get older, the emphasis is turning more toward the beer after the game than the actual game itself. :)
I agree on biking over running -- no contest! Bobbie will see the light one day.
