These are the days!!!! We are living the days with three kids still under our roof! Our oldest is married, moved out and gave us our first grand baby six weeks ago! Baby Gunnar has our hearts and love!!!! I'm packing the big boy lunch each day before he heads off to work. I'm washing little boy and big boy and bigger boy dad ball pants all in one big load! The jerseys say New Covenant and Flames X 2. There's dirt brought into the garage from three pairs of spikes being worn. This is the life!!!!
Matthew asked Mike to help their ball team when he can. Most times it's the same night that Austin has a game and Mike pitches for the Flames so he didn't know how often the ball games would interfere. Last night, Austin had a game at 7:15 and then Matthew had a 8:30 game. Mike helped with both games and loved every minute of it! He made amazing catches in left field as Matthew played short stop! Austin, Ashlyn and I watched on the bleachers!
Flames lost last night but played a well game.
Then we went to the next ballpark to watch Mike and Matthew play on the same team!
So fun! Watching the big boys play sports side by side is awesome!!!! Not every dad does this! Mike is mid forties and in good health and has energy for a ballgame anyway! What a blessing!
And May is giving us beautiful blooms along with lots of rain!
Peony's are one of my favorites and Jody has a very pretty bush that these all came from!!!! I made a display for the bridal shower and it's stunning on the dining room table!
May also gives us beautiful berries! These are not from my garden, nope. My berry patch has never done great and my head would swell so much if these were growing in my dirt so we just buy strawberries from the local markets and roadside stands! So yummy!
And what a memory! Lapp's Structures sold a swing set to Adrian Amos! Adrian is a pro football player and after Mike saw the order come through, they reached out to Adrian and asked if some little boys could come meet him when the swing set gets delivered! Day made when he said YES! Austin was excited and got a signature from him! Mike took the cousins along to and Adrian Stoltzfus told Adrian Amos that he middle name is Amos. So cool! Mike is so good at doing things like this with the cousins and boys!!!
School is winding down! We only have a few more days left and then it's summer vacation!!!! And wedding time! And days at the pool! Ice cream stops and Oola Bowl eats! We can't wait!
