Welcome Mathias Joseph Bateman to Team O negative. Born March 28 Mathias has been a joyous addition to our family. Bryce and Joel are great big brothers to him. Hilary made childbirth look like child's play as usual.
What is Team O negative? The red cross's best friend. Hilary and I are both O negative blood type, so all our children are also. We're growing the team to keep you safe in the event of an emergency. Although as it stands the team may be occupied with taking care of itself. Bryce recently suffered his first black eye after being head butted by Joel. Try cutting in line with him and its "Welcome to Spartan school" . The end of the school year is always a busy time. Recent activities have included the 8th grade vs faculty softball game, field day, and helping a friend lay out his bicycle orienteering course. I have been able to pick up a couple of shifts at ET recently. After the intro class last weekend I was able to rope up with Zac and Julz. (To avoid the spray-a-thon stop reading here.) Recently I have only been able to boulder occasionally, so I was super happy to climb on a rope, which is more my cup of tea, and my cup of tea is more a cup of coffee...anyway. I was able to flash a 5.11c and on site a 5.12b. At the Christmas party Chris Warner told me he was excited for my trip because somebody had to "represent for us old guys". I had never thought of myself in his peer group of "old guys", but if it comes with the "old man strength" to be able to onsite 5.12b after a month off ropes I'll take it!
