Music machine

Cannon wanted to make a music machine. I had no idea what to expect when he and Carter disappeared into their room with a moving box.

When it was ready, they called me into the hallway and asked me to bring plenty of coins. Cannon was inside of the decorated and labeled box with a harmonica - anxiously awaiting his first gig.

There were two slots (handles) to insert the money. One for 5 cents and the other for a quarter. The length and enthusiasm of the song would correlate according to the amount you deposited.

Baseball...so far so good!

Carter's baseball season is off to a great start. This is his first season in machine pitch. Carter has had some great hits. The one I captured here was a foul, but a strong hit down the third base line. Last Thursday's game, was the most intense little league I've attended. These guys are serious. Their team ended up losing 14-13. Carter went 2 for 3 and hit a line drive down the third baseline that passed the outfielders and brought in 2 runs to tie the game.

Cannon's games, well they are just different. They really look forward to the ice pops after the game.

Orange Belts

Carter and Cannon have been taking Karate since the beginning of the school year.  Carter has loved every minute of it.  Cannon has not loved every minute of it, but he enjoys it the majority of the time.

Both of them left Karate on Tuesday smiling from ear to ear, proud of earning their orange belts.

They try to match them up with kids of "equal size"  After three rotations, there were no more kids that were Cannon's size. So.........

Climbing

Knox is sooooo close to walking.  In the meantime, he is enjoying his newest accomplishment - climbing on the couch.
