Aquarium Visit

We decided to take B to the GA Aquarium for a quick "field trip". He had a good time learning more about the fish and seeing them up close. He seemed to enjoy the whale sharks and the manta rays although we couldn't get him to "pet" the stingrays. After lunch, we watched a movie at the aquarium theater and visited the gift shop where he got a t-shirt to show off at school.

VBS Camp

Couple of photos from 3-day VBS @ daycare...Braylon came home everyday singing a new song :-)

Long Season

Well, the T-Ball season is winding down. It's been a long season. Braylon's team got their first victory of the season last week. We have one of the youngest teams in the 4-6 year old division and this is the first season of t-ball for a lot of our kids. But we should have a good group next year if the kids stick together. But nonetheless, the kids seemed to enjoy the season and have improved from the first game. Braylon is hitting the ball well although his attention in the outfield still has a way to go. Shuntee and I were recruited mid-season to help out; me as 1st base coach and she is helping with the score-keeping. I think we're all ready for the playoffs (which we anticipate will be a short appearance for us since we play either the 1 or 2 seed). It's been fun but 2 games a week with practices in between can take it's toll.

Start of T-Ball

Braylon started his first t-ball season a couple of weeks ago. He seems to be enjoying it although he feels the practices take too long. The team has taken some early season lumps as they are 0-3 on the season. But Braylon seems to be having fun and is hitting the ball well (although he hasn't officially gotten on base yet). Here are some pictures from his first game.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Bayou

After a brief stop in MS, we went to New Orleans to visit my mom & stepdad for Thanksgiving and go the the Bayou Classic football game between Southern and Grambling. Braylon had a good time seeing his grandparents and listening to the bands at the game. The game didn't keep his attention very long though as he slept through the first half:-)

Halloween Fun

Braylon celebrated Halloween with the usual candy gathering activities and costumes. But he also got a chance to carve his own pumpkin at his Godparent's house. He had a good time and really seemed to enjoy "creating" his own pumpkin.

End of Soccer Season

Well, we just finished our first season of soccer. Braylon seemed to enjoy himself. We didn't play as many games as scheduled because of the weather but I think the final number was good for him. Just as he was getting burned out the season was over. He actually scored a couple of goals this year so he was excited about that. The coaches enjoyed having him on the team and wanted to make sure we brought him back for next year.
