Baseball!

This was Benny's first year to play baseball and he had so much fun! He lucked out with the best coaches ever and an amazing group of boys on his team. It was so much fun watching his team play. They were undefeated for the majority of the season. They only lost one game and came in 1st place. Each player on the team got a trophy at the closing ceremonies. During the season, each boy took a turn bringing snacks to pass out at the end of the game. Some of the parents went all out! One boy brought individual boxed cookie cakes for each boy! Benny always looked forward to snacks! So glad he wanted to play this year. He learned and grew so much. Can't wait for next year!

6 months

Hard to believe Nova is now 6 months old! She has grown so much! She is now 34 lbs and 19 inches tall (measured from the ground to her shoulders). Although we initially thought she was a "mini" Aussie, she defintely is measuring more as a standard Australian Shepherd. The vet thought she would get up to 50 lbs full grown! The past month has brought us to the vet 3 times! The first time, we thought she had a broken leg after she got tangled in Dan's legs during a walk. Luckily, it was just a bad sprain and healed in a week. The other two times were because of a nasty eye infection that just wouldn't clear up. The vet first prescrped eye drops, which didn't do a thing. Next, he prescribed the same antibiotic, but in ointment form. It worked! Her eye clear up two days after her fist dose of the ointment. One of the highlights of her first 6 months was her first trip to the beach! She was in heaven! It was the best day ever. She loved the water and was just full of non-stop energy the whole time there. We will definitely be taking lots more trips to the beach this summer!
