Platypi Update

First, Lincoln went to Kiddie Kandids, and took some more pictures, here are a few:



He got his six month shots yesterday... very sad, although he didn't scream as long as before. He measured at the 95th percentile for length, and about the 50th percentile for weight. His head is somewhere around the 40th percentile, needless to say, he doesn't take after his dad in that regard.

I know you have all been waiting for a Platypi update.

We are now 2-0 after last night. We won our first game 21-4, and our second 21-15. We were up by as many as 14 last night, but kind of coasted home. As usual, I learned a few things from our game.

1- Fat guys only have power in little league baseball

2- Lincoln likes to be outside watching softball

3- Our weakness is if the other team hits line drives that drop 20 feet in front of our fielders. Other teams should try to "exploit" that hole

4- If your arm hurts, you shouldn't play centerfield -- We had two players tag up from 2nd and score.

5- If the first 5 batters in your lineup are fast, the other team even assumes the bubs is fast.

6- I should remember to cover 3rd base when I am the 3rd baseman.

7- Christen still hasn't had her baby.

On Saturday, we play Video 2, and on Tuesday, we play the Salt Lake Blues. These are the 2 best teams in the league besides us. If we can get through that stretch, we'll be in business.

We are going to be missing a few players for Saturday's game, so Brett should come down to play.
