G is doing much better with B. He is being gentle and not aggressive at all

Tonight is our first softball game. Our goals are to have all to be able to play as much as they want to and to win the game.

Here’s G playing buckets in the backyard, and B with G on 4/18.

Everyone probably sees the resemblance of G to me. I want you to notice the similarity between B and my brother L. These two pictures are (1) of L and me, then (2) of just L. Pretty freaky huh?

I keep forgetting to get the new pictures up but they’ll be here soon, I promise.

My sister came home from China for a little while.

We had a cookout at our house last night with a bunch of friends, with a fire outside to take away the chill.

A funny thing happens when you shine the light of truth on a lie. It quickly appears quite silly. 2 days ago, I was feeling quite depressed. The feelings precipitated from a conversation I had that didn’t go well at all, and a small sleep deficit during the last week. As the day went on, I felt more and more like I was failing in many areas of my life. C knows me pretty well, so when I got home from work she knew something was wrong. We talked about it and she injected her vintage frankness, and it made perfect sense. And everything I had been mulling over all day seemed quite insignificant, and the fog lifted!

We had our first softball practice on saturday. That was pretty fun, except I realised how idle I’ve been all winter. I’m pretty sore, and I didn’t even do anything. Yikes.

It’s been really nice weather here the last 2 days so C and I went for a walk last night…alone. That was really nice. We walked to the park and climbed a hill to look around the city. Very nice.

So I guess I have to be a bit more patient. Another thing that bothers me is that he won’t go to bed at night but I guess my parents and C’s parents had the same problems :). Patience Adam…

OK, getting a little frustrated with the whole potty training deal. The boy has no desire to keep his pants dry!
