I have been nostagically remembering my first few years at Purdue-as soon as warm weather came, the guys would be out on the front lawn for hours for their "Spring Training." Out of apartment 5's open window we could hear the ball whizzing by and occasionally pegging a person or a car passing by. Inevitably someone would drag a couch outside (usually out of the range of baseballs) and we would spend many afternoons soaking up the warm weather, dreaming of summer, "studying" and enjoying the occasional cookout.
John and Ben have been coming over in the afternoons and playing baseball with the kids. We are working on basic things like batting, catching and throwing. Karla Josie shows her ready stance. :)
Aaron has just learned how to bat. He still doesn't understand the running the bases thing, or even how to hold the bat...baby steps.
Michelle and Angel wait for their team to bat.
Timi hides in a hole near our playing field.
After the game, Gloria and some of the kids rested on top of the red bodega.
My camera is once again with Best Buy as it has decided to break, for no reason, again. Thank goodness for warranty policies! This is the 3rd time. They tell me the fourth time I get a new camera. :) Thanks to Gloria for the pictures!

Fun pictures. CVE most likely has the most frequently photographed children. Do they ever protest when they see the camera's come out? You do a great job of keeping us up to date with what's going on around you.
Love, Teresa
Hi Ames,
Looks like fun! We are finally having some nice weather here and Dad is actually planting at Heckley's! I'm not sure what happened to your "links" section, but I really miss it. Can you put those back on?
I love you,
Mom
Ames,
Did you know they still do "Spring Training" at Purdue? I called Chad the other day and he said they were in the front yard for Spring Training. I was like, "whoa, blast from the past!"
Love ya,
Kris
Hi Ames!
When I read your title it took me back to "Spring Training" at Purdue and lounging in the front yard. And then I read on and realized you were thinking the same thing...good times and good memories!
Love ya!
Angie
