the kin folk said....

jared, move away from there....

we have moved on from hill billy to...... an old folk's home.

if he loses any more teeth, we'll have to put all of his food in a blender before we feed it to him through a straw!


t-ball for jared

another year of t-ball has begun for jared. this year is more exciting than last year because he is actually starting to understand what he's supposed to do and is less afraid of the ball. his team is the golden eagles.
