To .... A Ride on a Stick Horse -

my view turning around from the sink -

His pants are too short. Saltwaters aren't cowboy boots. He's wearing a baseball shirt. Her hair isn't combed. She wore that same outfit yesterday. And slept in it last night.

They are riding stick horses.
She is clearly in charge :)
He slays me.
They are beautiful.

April & May.
Baseball & Swim.
End of the year school events.
Dinner at 8pm ... or later .... or not at all.
Busy & Busier.

But there's like 2 days left of May and then it's June :)
We'll breathe again in June.
Sort of.
Actually, life is always busy.
It's how you choose to live in busy.

In June we'll eat more than strawberries for dinner.

that ball coming in right there was hit right back out for a home run. go number 48.

she kept track of balls & strikes & outs -

There was this one game where they had 2 outs & he had 2 strikes & they were loosing & it was the bottom of the last inning & he hadn't had a hit the whole game & there were runners on base & he hit a line drive.

And the crowd when wild :)
And he won game.

It was our 2nd annual open house.
I watched as their mom, not their teacher.
I was proud of them.

We're thick in the middle of a great history novel.
