The Season Starts!

Since the girls started t-ball last weekend, Mark decided to get them practicing early. They are required to have a glove and cleats are recommended but not required. We did go ahead and get them softball pants. Emily got a new pink and purple glove and is borrowing cleats from our neighbor. Allison is borrowing her aunt's glove and got new cleats. Daddy was in charge of returning some pants to Academy on his lunch break last week. He came home with a set of bases, a tee, some practice balls, a hot pink bat, and a glove and ball for little brother. So now we can have our own games in our own backyard. He's in heaven teaching his kids his sport.

Emily is running to first while Anna is up to bat.

first day of practice!!

I put Ethan to bed and cleaned the kitchen while Mark bathed the girls. Instead of going to bed, this sweet daddy took them outside and played guitar and sang to/with them. It was a bit chilly so we had to bring out the blankets. It's moments like these that they will remember.
