Hi Mom and Dad and Happy Easter
I hope that you had a nice Easter, and I'm glad that you spent it with Rob and his family.
I had flashbacks yesterday of the many Easter's spent with you and the boys, especially the baskets. You always made holidays very special and a lot of fun.
I guess that Kim feels very uncomfortable coming to your house with all the kids, she is very concerned about them breaking something or spilling something or just getting into trouble. Marriage is definitely very hard sometimes, as we try to balance doing what we feel is right with being generous and sacrificing our needs and desires.
Anyway, I looked over Jordan's schedule and most of his remaining games are on Saturdays, so here is the schedule. Look it over and pick a weekend.

He is on the Rays.
By the way, last game he seems to have solidified his spot and the second baseman, which is more of an achievement that he realizes. He started late and I remember practices where the infield was set and then the subs were put in behind them. There are two stars on the team, both 12 year olds that play short, so that spot is taken. The other kids are one of the coaches kids and he also plays travel team. They tried him at third and although he made two good plays, his losing focus led the coach to worry about him getting hurt and moved him to second.
In his last game he stayed very focused after we discussed it and made at least six plays from there. He's not as sure handed as Jimmy Rollins but the coaches have said that he is obviously not afraid of the ball as he always gets his body in front of it and knocks it down. The last game our pitcher threw very hard and most of the balls were hit to the right side so he had lots of action and did very well.
He also batted second, moving up from 6th, but looked bad at the plate. He has a habit of changing his stance even when he is doing well, which makes me crazy. (Just like at home, always tinkering!). Hopefully he will come around and start hitting the ball again. I also have to remember that the 12 year olds throw very hard and he is just a little guy.
More importantly, he got a 98 in Physics at the homeschool co-op he goes to, highest in his class, even though there are high schoolers in his class.
And last night I typed M-O-M on the computer in large letters and Daniel stared at it for a minute and then smiled and said MOM!
Every time we go out we get compliments on how beautiful they all are and well behaved.
It's roller coaster ride of highs and lows, the house is a disaster, I can't find my tools, and my job is too darn demanding. But I am grateful for everything I have and everything you and Dad did for me.
