Jim bought tickets to the Rainiers baseball game on July 3rd for him, his dad, and JT for his dad’s Father’s Day gift. They had an awesome time in the sunshine watching the Rainiers hit home runs and win, and the after-game fireworks show was really well done. Meanwhile, Haley said she wanted to spendContinue reading “July 3”

Summer Sports
We’ve never had summer sports in the Keene family, except water skiing. This year is different. Haley was invited to participate in a small group of gymnasts who are working toward level 3. She will be attending class twice a week this summer instead of her usual once per week. (She also got a newContinue reading “Summer Sports”
Getting Summer Started
We are off to a great start! The kids got kayaks from Grandpa and Grandma Cole as early birthday gifts while I was in San Antonio. They were so excited and they got to test them out right away! When I got back, the weather was beautiful and we had a nice picnic lunch atContinue reading “Getting Summer Started”
Ending Baseball
Haley’s season ended with a couple of games and a party, as usual. We were in the same location as last year because a family on our team lives in a neighborhood with beach access in Olalla. It was a sunny day and we had so much fun on the beach. Haley thinks her coachContinue reading “Ending Baseball”
Finally, sunshine!
We have waited a long, long time for decent weather here in the PNW. We were thrilled to get out the slip-and-slide the other day, and we ended up having an impromptu fish taco dinner in our neighbor’s backyard!
JT’s PPL: Grade 2
JT had the opportunity to present his PPL (Personal Passion in Learning) Project last week at school. He has been working with Jim and me since early April on all of the components, so this was quite the culmination. His essential question was, “How do aerodynamics affect the speed of a derby car?” Other secondContinue reading “JT’s PPL: Grade 2”
Empathy Heros and Terrific Kids
Last Friday, Haley and the other kindergarteners performed at the school assembly. They were empathy super heroes. It was pretty cute! Haley had a speaking role as Narrator #4. We recorded the entire assembly because Jim was travelling for work and missed the show. He watched it with Haley over the weekend. I’m only publishingContinue reading “Empathy Heros and Terrific Kids”
Basically Baseball
We basically have three days off from baseball a week: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. On Wednesday, we get caught up on homework and housework. On Fridays, we get to have a little fun. Last week we went to a craft night at the kids’ school. They made jewelry boxes for mother’s day, which was really fun.Continue reading “Basically Baseball”
Spring Planting
With warmer days final upon us, we enjoyed our weekend with baseball, time outside with friends, and planting our garden! I trimmed the faltering daffodils down and brought home 32 strawberry starts. We also grounded four tomato starts (three grape, one heirloom). We added some sunflowers in the very back row for good measure! ThenContinue reading “Spring Planting”
Eggs and Baseball
We had a lovely time at the annual 1000-egg hunt at our neighbor’s house last weekend. We couldn’t believe the weather held out for being outside, and the sun even broke through a few times! JT found a large egg, and so did Wyatt… but of course the adults were stuck hanging on to them.Continue reading “Eggs and Baseball”
