Site still busted

img_8028So I’m trying to do some internal site fixes and I keep breaking more than I’m fixing. Thanks for your patience this week as I work out commenting issues and other crap. I hope to be back to full speed soon — hopefully with some neat new features.Until then, you can read about our first trip to the ballpark this year over at the Chronicle’s parenting blog, The Poop.

How to fly a kite

Ain’t she a Peach?

img_6394Don’t let the “uniform” fool you. For her birthday, Emme got a new baseball bat and five balls — all of which she promptly smashed over our neighbor’s fence. I can seriously fast pitch the kid now, and she’ll whomp 3 out of 5 of them. (Well, fast-ish.) We actually had to stop playing hit ‘em at home in favor of the park, because there wasn’t a fence she couldn’t conquer or ball she couldn’t lose. It’s funny that she can rope any manner of ball for a kid-sized home run, but she can’t catch — or really throw — for the life of her. Hmm, I’m starting to change my position on the designated hitter. They have that in Little League, right?
