Here's a few updates:
Ea's still having contractions on and off. She went to work all day today while having contractions. They're not bad but bad enough to feel like crap. The poor girl is miserable. I think she is getting tired of us pestering her about it. I would be too!
I dropped my Amish neighbor boys off at their house and there was a van parked in the driveway with 30 day tags. I didn't really think anything of it. Then I saw the Amish guy driving it. Huh? Come to find out they are turning Mennonite. I wonder how that works! Do they get electric? Do they have to switch churches? Do they get shunned? Gosh, I have so many questions. I guess it wouldn't be polite to ask. Then again when has that ever stopped me! Ha, ha, ha!
Brandon brought home a paper with a 99% and a Social Studies test with 100%! Go Brandon! I'm not sure how he is doing in math but we are practicing everyday! He still just doesn't act like he is getting the multiplication. We found some games on the computer to play and I hope they help!
As far as the baseball goes.......Caryn and Kristy are both right! My boys are my # 1 priority. Sometimes I need to remember that they need to learn to figure out how to solve their problems. It just stinks that another parent would want to hold other kids back from enjoying their baseball season. And I'm mean! I almost automatically start thinking negative thoughts instead of thinking the positive when it comes to things that involve the kids. At work I can use the "Well it's better than...." saying. In times like these it's hard because I want it all for my kids. I know that is unrealistic but there is always that hope that they will never have to know disappointment. I'm not talking material things either. My goal for now is to smile and keep my thoughts to myself. For those of you that know me, That is going to be a big challenge!

You're passionate and you have common sense. I have a hard time dealing with idiots, too. They're everywhere I tell you!
I was just kidding..you're not mean! Congrats to Brandon on the tests! If those people become Mennonite they won't go to their Amish church anymore. I think shunning usually happens when they've already joined the Amish church then leave. It sounds like they're older, so it's possible. I think it depends on the family...rules vary from church to church. Mennonites do have electricity, so it's probably up to them if they get it or not.
That's terrific about Brandon! If he's aware of the guy in Texas, please tell him I said so.
I'd be real curious why the change from Amish to Mennonite. Guess its time to google since I'm not sure of the differences.
Yes I do feel crappy but this baby will be here soon and I will feel so much better. As far as baseball goes these kids are not in the major league nor are they training for it. Most parents can't seem to get that or should I say coaches.There is too much politics in our small town and I get mad too and they aren't my kids.Why can't everyone play how else are they gonna learn.
