~~ New Day ~~

Driving to work early isn't my favorite, but getting to see some pretty amazing sunrises makes it so much better.  Thank you Jesus for this beautiful new day!

PS - pardon my side mirror...these pictures are quick (safe) shots from my car that really don't do the sunrise justice.
 

~~ RUSH ~~

This weekend Michael had his first tournament with his new team - THE RUSH - He was on the fence about playing fall ball, but when he heard this team was looking for another catcher he thought it would be a good opportunity to put in some work and get some time on the field before high school baseball in the Spring.  Extra practice never hurt anyone, am I right?  He has been so lucky to always have amazing coaches and teammates and this team is no different.  He is the new kid on the team and he is working to earn his spot playing with the big boys - 16U - this season.  I ~ LOVE ~ to watch this kid play!  It makes my heart so happy.  It's going to be a fun, challenging season and I can't wait!  Love my #31 💛

~~ Yahtzee ~~

Oh my goodness - I LOVE this game!  It has always been a favorite game of mine and my family.  When the boys were younger we had a Toy Story version.  Who am I kidding?  We STILL have it! SO. MUCH.FUN!!  Of course when I go to get it out to take a picture of it both boys have to play a couple games with me!  They are so funny.  They stopped what they were doing and both of them were like LET'S PLAY!  They are competitive so we had to play several times so everyone had a chance to win a least one game.

Jesse's girlfriend comes to visit and we usually play at least one game of Yahtzee while she is here.  It is such a fun game.  Next time she is over we'll have to introduce her to the Toy Story version.

~~ Number 31 ~~

I started to write about Michael playing with the Red Sox, and I will, but it's gonna be a long one and I just can't do that tonight. So, instead I have a couple of pictures of the game from 1 year ago tonight.  He caught and pitched that game.  It was a good night for baseball for #31.

~~ Reminder ~~

 

~~ At the Lake ~~

  

 

Sunrises, sunsets, fishing, boating, games, horses, peace, relaxation, little boys that fill the chairs, books,  silence.  A little bit of Heaven on Earth.  Blessed to be able to get away with the family and recharge and make memories.

  

~~ New Toy ~~

This girl got a new toy and she LOVES it!  Oh my goodness.  It squeaks and makes so much noise, but she has the best time with it!  She has had several of these little pigs - they are her favorite.  Any other squeaky toy she will destroy trying to get the squeaker out.  The others were pink, but I really am liking the blue.  Look at those eyes.....
