Fingerpaint artist

This is my munchkin doing a little fingerpainting this morning.  He made one small picture and one BIG mess.  But, I'll happily clean up after him - would you just look at that cute face?

GRAND SLAM DAY

My son had another baseball game tonight.  He just keeps improving and amazing us! The highlight of the game (at least for us) was when he hit a grand slam home run!!  I practically fell over on the field with excitement! :)  GOOD STUFF! Is it possible to be any prouder?
Behind that sweet, handsome exterior is a baseball maniac.  ;)

Monkey at baseball

My younger son is itching to get out on the field to play baseball like his big brother.  But, until he's old enough, he's keeping happy by just climbing the fence. :)

Family

I spent the last 24 hrs up in Jupiter for my nephew's baptism.. I did a lot of driving... Phew.  What a whirlwind trip!  However, it was well worth it!  It was so wonderful to spend time with my wonderful family!  I just love them all! :)
I took this photo with my self timer today.  

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.
