At Practice

 Wow. Baseball is our life right now. School, baseball, school, baseball. That's what we do. Two boys in two different leagues (but both playing for the Cubs!), two practices a week each, equals a lot of time at the fields for us! While one boy is at practice with his team, Rand takes the other boy and they have private coaching time, just Dad and son). So really each boy is practicing 4 times a week. Me? What am I doing? Oh, I'm glad you asked. Mostly trying to stay warm while entertaining Easton and Annabel for 2 hours, who both want to do very different things. Easton wants to play on the playground rain or shine, hail or snow. Annabel wants to be held, but it has been so cold I won't take her out of the stroller and out of her blankets. She doesn't like it much. I'd like to be sitting with a book or some knitting some place quiet all by myself. But instead, those babes and me usually wind up spending a lot of time in the car. Easton climbs around and Annabel eats and cuddles and sits on my lap. It's not all bad. It's kinda fun. And the weather is improving and so hangin' at the play structure isn't so bad either.

Opening day is Saturday and our crazy game schedule is about to begin! From now until June 2 should be a blur.

So here we are...during practice....hanging out in the car.

...still pointing, and usually scowling along with it!

but not always

also "shoosh-ing" when he is told not to do something!
