school is underway

James seems to be enjoying school so far...based on what we've seen it looks like he is going to have a lot of responsibility this year. Seems like they are starting to prepare the students for middle school. He is working hard and we hope he keeps it up.
I've had two classes and feeling very overwhelmed! I'm sure it will all be fine but internship is seeming like A LOT of work. I just need to get onto a schedule. I am only working 3 days a week now and having wed off as well as fri is taking some getting used to. Currently I am working mon, tues, and thur...internship tues and thur nights to see clients. wed and fri to work on whatever needs to be worked on at the site...on top of keeping a house and running james around for baseball. I dont mind the baseball part since James is staying home alone after school and we aren't too fond of that. Plus is allows us more time with him since he is staying the nights he has baseball. Its a little tricky getting in routine when hes only here some nights.

baseball 9-9-09

James pitched his first game tonight...he did great...even got a strike out

dirt and bikes...

The plainfield park district has created a "bike park" with jumps and different types of "skills" to practice. Its really a nice set up but scary at the same time. James got a kick out of it, wiped out, but no tears...

fall ball

tonight was james first baseball game of the fall... the neighbor boy jacob plays and james has become good friends with him. he begged us to play so we changed around a lot of schedules and are able to attend all the game. he hasnt played in a year so we were curious to see how he would do. he is doing well and thing it will be a great season. the coaches are great with the kids...
