{The 1st Check-in of The Summer}

 Hello! How is your summer? We have been cruising right along. . .late nights, long talks,

sitting outside, BBQ out back, swimming, church camp, VBS, tennis lessons, friends, video games, 

board games, and all sorts of other fun. . . like ice cream!

I am managing to keep my "the vine" alive. See my adorable flag from my Sweet Shaina! I just love it!

She brought it to me at a time I really needed some cheer!

 I have been to 3 funerals within the past 2 weeks. 

 My heart has been full of sorrow.  Sorrow, y'all! I mean it!

 The Baby had his very last ballgame last night.

He hit 2 home runs! Oooooo, how your heart swells with joy when your

kids are beaming with happiness.  I have absolutely loved watching my boys play baseball

each summer.  The Teenager Boy hasn't played in a few years (gulp.), but watching The Baby

has been wonderful.  AND I really don't miss Field Hopping.

 He typically plays 2nd or 3rd base.  

He is super smart.

He is super speedy.

Thank you baseball for being so great. . . and ending before it is complete heat misery outside.

In case you need code for the kids. . .

Carson aka Buddy or The Baby
