T-Ball and Piping

Aside from wishing Evan to be a happy and healthy child; he has parents who have knacks for different talents: music and sports. These two videos show that Evan has potential in those two areas.

If you have your speakers on, check your volume before playing this one. This is Evan playing a bagpipe chanter. A bagpipe chanter is what beginning pipers use to work just on the bagpipe fingerings. After a person masters that, then you progress to actually blowing into the bagpipe (which is a whole other skill to master). I haven't been keeping up with my bagpipe practice (sorry Marc)...maybe Evan can pick up where I left off. It is funny seeing Evan in the video act like he is fingering the holes on the chanter (although the chanter is way huge for him).



In this video you can see Evan's first try at t-ball. From the video, it appears Evan really favors his left hand. We kept trying to get him to switch sides and swing like a rightie; but he kept going back to his left.
