Can you guess what the worst part of the baseball season is?

Yes....keeping these pants clean is a full time job....

Baseball.....1st tournament

Chris and I had a great time in San Antonio for the Chick-fil-a operators seminar and are looking forward to next year in Orlando. We had to hit the ground running when we returned....Jansen had practice and Jordan is getting ready for a weekend of baseball with his 1st tournament of the season.

We had a scrimmage game tonight and Jordan got to pitch. (he doesn't usually pitch so it was a big deal for him)

Jansen 3 weeks post stage 2

Jansen is starting to heal and things are looking good. We are so happy to put this behind us for a few months and enjoy baseball with him and Jordan. Jansen is still sleeping with the wrestling gear, and wears it to play outside. Today while playing, Jordan's hand rubbed his ear, and Jansen came in crying that it hurt and went and put on the head gear to protect it. I love the head gear. Jansen ear doesn't really hurt...we think it's just feel different (sensitive).

Have a great weekend...We are off to Auburn for a weekend full of baseball.

Shoes

Check this kid shoe out.....I am in LOVE!!! Reebok Zig...I see a purchase real soon for my boys.

Thanks Ryder and Craig for the great idea.

He's off....

The boys before school this morning. Can you believe they are wearing shorts in February? I love this weather.

Chris is headed to San Antonio this morning. He is starting to feel better. Me on the other hand...not so much. I feel a sinus infection coming on. Will I ever get well? I have a whole week away with my wonderful hubby and no kids. I don't have time to be sick.

The boys and I will finish packing tonight and head to The Cardinals batting practice. Then they are off to Chris' parents until Sunday, and then to my parents until Thursday. They are very excited. FYI grandparents: All they want to do is play outside. Have a great weekend everyone and I'm super excited about our week off from school. I will post an update from San Antonio. When we return The GA Cardinals will be playing in there 1st tournament of the season in Auburn. If anyone is interested in watching let me know and I'll give you more details.

Trip

The stomach bug has now hit everyone in the Kenty household. Chris got sick this morning causing him to miss his flight to San Antonio, TX. He is home resting hoping to get on a flight tonight or in the morning.

Chick-fil-a Operators Seminar is Sunday -Wednesday, and I am super excited about going. I will leave Saturday and come back on Thursday with Chris. The weather is beautiful with the high in the mid 70s. The River walkOur Hotel
I hope to enjoy this courtyard, with a good book.

I have A LOT to do to get us ready for our trip. My first stop is cleaning the house so that we don't get sick when we return.

Stomach bug

I have been home today with Jordan, because he now has the stomach bug. He slept all day, and is starting to feel better.

Chris took Jansen to see Dr. Jones to have his stitches taken out. Dr. Jones was pleased at the way Jansen is healing. Looking at the pix below...

We are still amazed.

The picture...above the ear....(black sore) was a little pimple/cyst....Dr. Jones popped it last week during surgery and it is beginning to heal. Our "problem area" is healing really well. If you look really close you can see white cartilage..it is NOT exposed. It just has a very thin layer of skin covering it right now. Over time this will continue to fill in. We are going to put everything on hold for a while and let Jansen heal. We are looking at Stage 3 in June, along with a little touch up to the "problem area."

One of our special friends Sophie will be having Stage 1 surgery tomorrow at Scottish Rite with Dr. Jones. We are praying for the whole Birch family and Dr. Jones tomorrow.

Our Sunday

Jordan and The GA Academy Cardinals are off to play 2 scrimmage games today. GO CARDS!!Jordan
and I'm home with this little guy because he is not feeling well. I am hoping a little nap will help him out. He has been complaining of his stomach hurting since Friday..not sure what is going on..He needs to get better so we can get his stitches out tomorrow morning.

Let's PARTY!!!

Kaylee got a sewing machine for her birthday and mom was showing all the kids how to use it.

We enjoyed Kaylee's party Friday night and had a little sleep over at their house. The boys really miss seeing cousin Kaylee all the time like they use too. I hate that we all live so far from each other.

Student of the week

Jansen was the student of the week this week and we had an extra member at our house. Meet Mr. Tiger. Mr. Tiger went to baseball with Jansen several times.

Stage 2...Ear picture 2 days post-op

We have a real ear!!! This is 2 days post-op stage 2.

We are ALL SUPER EXCITED at The Kenty house. We know the "problem area" needs some work, but we are so glad that we are moving forward with this journey.

Stitches will come out Feb. 14.
