Welcome to the athletic world, Amanda.

I never played sports. Unless you count kickball in the 5th grade...the phase in my life before I became too cool to look like I enjoyed P.E. I never played anything competitively. So I have found my immersion in the sports world to be very sobering. I had no idea how much time would be taken up each week by THIS. Running to practice, looking for uniform, looking for gloves that have been misplaced, fixing meals around games...it is never-ending! Of course, it is worth the sacrifice to watch Jax learn a new skill and have fun. I know what you are thinking....wait until I have 2 and then 3 involved in sports. But as a counselor, I have learned about self-preservation. I will not dwell on the inevitable chaos in my future. If I only have a few years left of sanity, I will not given to thinking about the impending chaotic schedule of sports!! Baseball...first year! Jax has hit the ball (coach pitch) every time! He has avoided using the tee. He is still not exactly sure what to do when...

I am so excited about summer. I LOVE to garden. What can I say? I inherited it honestly. My garden will never be up to the standards of the gardens that my PawPaw and Grandaddy used to do around my house, but I cannot help it. My time to actually be able to work in the garden is so much more limited! This garden will eventually have weeds in it. There is just no way around some of that for me. But at least we are trying! This year we are getting off to a late start, but I can't wait until we can see some growth! Jax was helping his Granddaddy with the tractor! Ronin liked running through the dirt! Gunnar wanted to drive!  Gunnar is still trying to drive in this one...
