If you're not on Twitter, you can still be entertained by my scintillating & random thoughts now...because I've added a little "widget" to the bottom left of this page. I know this will be life-changing to everyone.

Baseball

Mimi & Grandad were here for the weekend and we had a fun time. Saturday we had a family baseball practice/game on the field where Zachary usually plays. Grandad gave Zachary some batting tips and introduced him to the worth "lethal." As in, "If you do what I'm showing you, your batting will be lethal."

His stance sure looks good!

We let him hit it off the tee a few times too.

We played a little girls-against-boys game. Here's Allie running to first after hitting her little "bunt" that forced Zachary to come from the pitchers mound to snatch it. I love watching my girl run. She runs her little heart out!

And Daddy tagged her out...

Allie wasn't feeling good all weekend and said she wanted to take a nap in the car while we finished our game. I'm pretty sure she didn't really sleep. But she looks pretty cute pretending to sleep!

A fun family picture with my camera timer. It was a beautiful day!

What are the odds?

Todd & I play a random game whenever we think of something that is extremely likely or unlikely to happen. We just say, "what are the odds..." and finish the sentence with the unlikely/likely event.
So...I'll ask you.
What are the odds that these ridiculously tiny pieces of Allie's toys remain a part of her collection? I included a penny so you have a point of reference. They are clothes & accessories of Polly Pocket. (And the word "Pocket" is definitely appropriate)

First Submission

Zachary enjoys a subscription to a magazine called "Big Backyard." It is mainly about animals & nature and he loves it. There's a section in the magazine every month where kids from all over the country send in their drawings of animals. The magazine publishes about 10 submissions a month. Zachary drew a great picture of a panda and chose that drawing to submit to the magazine. He was so excited. I'll let you know if his drawing gets published. I sure hope so!!

Sweet Girl

Allie Marie is such a sweetie. I love my girl. She's funny, entertaining, darling, imaginative, lively, likeable, affectionate, talkative, confident, helpful, determined, quick, independent and loves her blankie & her brother.
