Proud

I caught this moment of my husband running over to the dugout to praise our son for playing well today.  I love the look of pride and happiness on my son's face.  When he was catcher during the game, there was a play where he ripped off his helmet, ran up to home plate, and almost caught the ball to get the runner out!  It was SO close.  My son had a welt on his wrist from where the ball hit when he was trying to catch it.  Even though he missed, we were so proud of his readiness and how he was so "in the game" - totally paying attention and ready for that out.   He makes us so proud. :)

Reading

My son LOVES to read!  This afternoon, I looked up from the kitchen and couldn't find him... he was not playing on the floor of the living room with his brother anymore.  I went searching and found him lying in bed reading a library book.  He was covered up with his blankets and surrounded by stuffed animals.  It was so cute I could hardly stand it.  He just left the chaos in the living room/kitchen and went to have quiet time to read in his room.  That's awesome.  :) 

Ground bee

This bee would not leave my son and me alone today when we were playing baseball in the yard.  It kept buzzing around our feet.  It looked like a ground bee, and sure enough, it landed on the ground, dug a hole in the grass, and disappeared several times!  I tried for awhile to get a picture of it - NOT an easy task - it NEVER stopped moving.  This was the best I could do with limited light and an impatient son who wanted my attention. :)  Granted, the photo is a bit blurry and noisy, but it was still too cool to not share.

Brotherly Love

Nothing melts me more than seeing my two children's love for each other. Today, my younger son climbed up on the bench by the table and hugged my older son while he was doing his homework.  I ran and got my camera and caught them as they sort of fell over.  It was so heartwarming to see my older son's face light up.  I love these boys.  

Beautiful hawk

I saw this beautiful hawk today while I was walking with my son in the morning.  It caught sight of me stalking it with my camera and gave me the stink eye.  :)  

Life is rough when you're a kid

This is my son lounging on the ottoman while watching his favorite show, Sesame Street, today.  Isn't life ROUGH?

My gorgeous boy

We went to a delicious brunch this morning with some great friends, and then the kids all had an Easter Egg Hunt.  They had a blast!  I snuck this picture of my baby boy when he wasn't paying attention to me but was happily watching all the kids running amok.  I just think he is the sweetest, most gorgeous little morsel. :)
