Rain, Rain, Rain

Ian's season opener for baseball was supposed to be tonight at 5:30pm, but we are rained out. Bummer! He really enjoys his new team, the coaches, practices and everything about it! He continues to improve and will be playing outfield and a little at first base. His hitting has improved significantly and I'm looking forward to watching him as well as his team! He continues to sport #4. He is well aware that #4 was Pop-pop's number when he played sports. I love the fact he wants to wear that number in honor of him. There will be a different look this season with his fan club. We learned after last season that parents wear the team jerseys with their son's number on the back. Last season just Cailean ordered one because he was going to help with coaching. But, all the moms had them on as well at the games (except me). So...this season...not only will I wear a #4 jersey and Cailean and Gavin (and Ian of course), but also his Mimi, Grammie and Pop-pop! Very cool and yes...I'll take pictures! Ian's class is going on a field trip tomorrow to the zoo and I'm going as a chaperone. The good thing is that I don't have to use vacation time from work because NC State promotes community service and they count chaperoning on school field trips as community service! So, I'm excited about that! The weather is not looking to great, but we'll be going rain or shine. Cailean and Gavin might be going to the zoo as well. We'll make that decision last minute. Gavin enjoys his time at soccer on Saturday mornings. They play either 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 with no goalies. They practice for the first part and then scrimmage the last 30 minutes or so. His Mimi is there each week cheering him on! I've sent an email to the organization because the field is not handicapped accessible, so my grandparents cannot watch him play soccer again this season. He always sings at home. He sings songs from school. He sings songs from Sunday School. He just loves to sing, but doesn't want people to listen to him! I have two more payments to make for him to attend pre-school and then that comes to an end. I cannot believe that. This weekend will be interesting. Cailean and Ian head to the Spring Outing with the Y-Guides Friday-Sunday while Gavin and I enjoy time at home. I don't like being away from Ian. :-( He will be missing Opening Ceremonies with baseball and the first game of the season, which really stinks. But, the Spring Outing is an important event and they'll have a great time! Gavin wants to see HOP...the new movie, so we'll probably do that.
