Happily Ever After

Here's a conversation I had with Willa tonight when she was going to bed:

Me: "...and they lived happily ever after."

W: Why does it say "happily ever after"?

Me: Because when you find someone you love it makes you happy forever.

W: Well, I love you, so we will live happily ever after.

T-ball

Andrew loves to play baseball. He loves hitting and running the bases, and hanging out in the dugout with all his friends. Fielding takes a bit more concentration, so that's more of a challenge. This year I somehow got roped into being the team mom, because having a newborn and selling our house doesn't give me enough to do.



Catcher is the most fun position, and all the kids are excited when it's their turn to catch.




Each game the coach gives out a game ball. Andrew got his for "solid hitting," and he was so surprised and happy. (Just look at those skinny little legs. The kid is a full head taller than anyone in his class, but he's such a beanpole. A stiff wind will blow him over.)



The season is almost over now, and I have to say I'm going to be a little sad to see it end. He's had so much fun, and because we love baseball at our house, we've enjoyed going to the games.

4 months old

The last 4 months have been a blur. I can't believe how big he is already! He smiles and laughs whenever he is talked to, loves stuffed animals (much to Willa's dismay), and absolutely lights up for his big brother and sister. He eats like a champ, and except for not being able to handle lactose (which is hard for me, since I've always big a big milk drinker) he's about as cute and easy as can be. And he's huge. We'll have his official stats next week after his check up, but he's definitely following in Andrew's footsteps.
