Baseball Season

One of the highlights this summer was going to watch Ethan play baseball. He enjoys any sport that we put him in and really tries his best. He is goal driven just like his dad and works hard, he really improved a lot this year and had a few double outs when he played pitcher. His least favorite position was catcher, too many ups and downs with all of the equipment but he did look cute wearing all of the extras.

Beautiful June Day

Here is a family picture taken in May, I graduated from Drake with my Masters. Finally this summer I have had a chance to relax and enjoy myself. I can get used to sleeping in and taking my time reading the morning paper with my cup of coffee outside on the deck. I love summers and all the relaxation that comes with it. I also like to have days where we have a focus and have things to do, but I am finding that this summer playing it by ear seems to be our plan every day. I am just enjoying time with Ethan and Abigail and time to get a few projects done around the house. I am enjoying our new patio and being outside in the cool mornings and cool evenings. I am enjoying reading books for pleasure and not for work. I wish everyone could have a summer like this to refocus and rejuvenate and to really love and appreciate your children.
