Dad's Weekend Update, April 19th-20th

Well here goes. Brant played injured this morning [seems some kid like using his back as a place to put his knee last night], but that didn't stop him from playing well [would I tell you if he didn't play well?] and receiving his first game ball this year. He did get a tad upset that someone had the nerve to catch one of his hits in the air. Unfortunately my video camera batteries were not fully charged this morning so there is no video from this game, but there will be video for future games.

[4/20] I was thinking about posting a video a not so bright bird who, every morning, attempts to fly through one of the sunroom windows. But, decided to instead briefly speak about Brant's tryout this afternoon. He decided he wanted to tryout for a competitive baseball league this summer. We weren't going to do it, but he talked us into it. Really, he did! It would be a big change from what he and us are use to - keeping score, outs, rules, etc...

Anyway, 33 kids were at the tryout and they are only selecting 12 to play. I am hoping for the best. Though, it really will be a busy month if [when :0)]he makes it.. Vacation will have to be rescheduled, as will his b-day party. They play one game on Friday night and three on Saturday and Sunday! He practiced as well as I have ever seen and in my unbiased opinion he was one of the Top 15!!!

Keep your fingers crossed!!

Till next week.

Edit - decided to add the video. Enjoy!
