HEALTH UPDATE

It has been hairy scary at the Mills' casa this week. Jackson had the H flu last week and now has Whooping cough. I'm pretty sure Don has it and I may be on my way too! We are going to stay in and weather the "sick storm." Wish us luck :)

JACKSON & T-BALL

The T-ball bag

Glove, balls and cleats

Batting Helmet

Yesterday, February 22, was Jackson's first t-ball practice!! We arrived at the Haslet ball fields right on time at 1:30. His team, The Bulls, practiced until almost 3:00. The Coach was very supportive of the kids, but we could tell that he is competitive. The team threw balls around with the dads to start. They also caught grounders, batted and ran a lap. I have to admit that I was worried that Jackson might not be a baseball kind of kid, but to my surprise he was great. He can catch, hit and throw quite well. Of course, one little boy on the team is already a pro at 6 yr. old-Wow!! As soon as practice was over, we headed to Academy for t-ball shopping. We purchased white pants(really white?!), two t-ball balls, cleats, batting helmet and a bag. We are still looking for just the right bat. Jackson is already scoping out the weather so we can go out and practice this week. I'll take some pics of the next practice on Saturday. The pics above are of the T-ball loot.
