T-ball

His first practice was Saturday and he talked about it all day. Sunday after church he went to change and came back down looking like this...



His excitement is adorable. I love baseball season. (Jake is excited in an 11 yr old way, not so facinated by the uniform, but still having fun) At practice I sat next to a couple of parents that were complaining about people with more than two kids and how their kids can't be involved. They were tooting their own horn about what great parents they were of their one and two kids. I surprised myself by keeping quiet and just smiling inside about my own "deprived" in their words, kids that all play a musical instrument and are in boy scouts, band and orchestra, two playing baseball and two playing soccer. Poor things how do they survive? They are begging for more brothers is what they are doing in their spare time. I am so glad I have my boys. Life would be boring without them!

Poor "deprived" you! I think their kids are deprived of all the fun family experiences that can only come from more than one child in the family.

He looks so cute in his uniform! Too bad people w/4 kids can't have them in gymnastics, golf, volleyball, softball, t-ball, piano, girl scouts and boys scouts. Oh wait, we can, we just work a whole lot harder than those patting themselves on the back for not depriving their children! You are a great mom! You are involved more w/your kids and actually play w/them more than just about anyone I know!
