The boys have started their baseball season. Andrew is playing up a grade and playing on Jakob's team. It makes it nice for us since we only have to go to one practice a week and we don't have to worry about their games overlapping. Last year I (Trisha) was pretty worried about Andrew being on Jakob's team. He's the youngest player on the team, but this year he's really improved. In the first game he hit one way in the outfield and made it all around the bases to score a homerun. He's really been hitting well. Jakob is very good overall in baseball. He hits consistently to the outfield, he's fielding is really good and his pitching is great. He's only allowed one run while he's pitched in 5 games and has struck out a lot of batters.
LiLi had her first Easter this year. We went to the early (8:00) service at church. We also went because a friend of ours was going to be teaching LiLi's class and we wanted her to stay in her class so we could enjoy the service upstairs. She had been crying when I've tried to leave her at Sunday school. This time she did cry for a little bit, but Gretchen was able to calm her down and when we went to pick her up she was having fun playing on a slide. The last couple weeks at church she has cried a little when I left her, but then calmed right down, Yeah!. I stayed and helped at the 9:30 service and Kraig brought the kids home. When I got home, LiLi was doing her best Dirty Harry impression. She was outside playing with water guns in her Easter Dress. Our neighbor Donya was helping her reload her ammunition.
Later we went over to my parent's house for an Easter egg hunt and lunch. She had a really great time. She loved looking for the eggs. 
Today we had her dedication at church. Both sets of grandparents were there and her great grandma. She got another pretty dress to wear for her special occasion. She loves dressing up.
We've been to a few garage sales and she's gotten a chair, a sand and water table and a scooter. Jakob saved up his $ and did some chores around the house to buy a motorized Razor scooter off of craigslist. It was finally a nice day on Saturday and we got out the slip 'n slide. LiLi and the kids didn't even get on their swimsuits. They just started sliding. Andrew, LiLi and Donya played out there for a long time. LiLi loved the water. I think we're going to be going to the pool a lot this summer.
LiLi is doing great overall. She still isn't talking much, but she's saying more and more words everyday. She's getting more and more outgoing. She will now play a little bit by herself and she'll play with the neighbor kids. She smiles and says 'hi' to everyone. She's such a happy girl and such a joy to have.
