Starting over . . .
I have watched some intense baseball . . . my own boys plus my nephew, Jay. The kind of baseball where your heart is in your throat . . . where you live & die with every pitch. This summer I have started back at square one with both Owen & Drew playing t-ball for the first time. The "rules" are unique . . . no score, no outs, everybody bats . . . just have fun & hopefully learn a little about baseball. Well, it is fun & funny & just about the cutest thing I've ever seen! Owen's league is for 5-6 year olds some of whom seem to have a clue. Drew's league is for 3-4 year olds & is more like herding kittens! Both boys have got the professional look down though . . . it's all about the uniform!
Moving on . . .
I attended Owen's preschool graduation a couple weeks ago. It was 3 songs, a certificate, & off to a celebratory lunch. Owen announced to his mom at some point that week that he was "moving up in the world."
Too fun . . .
For Christmas I received concert tickets for Julianne Hough from Ryan. No one has ever accused either Ryan or me of being shy so we picked our way through the crowd & positioned ourselves right in front of the stage. Yes, we may have had to elbow some pre-teen girls out of our way, but hey, how many opportunities does one get to be front & center at a concert! Ryan got some really amazing pictures from that vantage point (I think he took about 150!), & we stayed to meet her afterward & get a picture with her. Although I look like I'm half asleep in the picture, I really was energized & having a great time.
Weather . . .
I've always wondered why people talk so much about the weather until now. June gloom??? We have had maybe 5 days of sunny & warm since spring began! I'm sick of rainy & cold, sinus headaches, & constantly changing from heat to A/C & back. Summer? Bring it on!!!
