We are loving summer and I sure am enjoying being free to chase my kids around the baseball fields and the neighborhood.  Today has been my first real day of summer vacation and I have spent it sleeping in, exercising, gardening, doing primary stuff, and watching the kids at their first baseball games.  Jenika's t-shirt is blue and she looked really cute.  That's all that really matters right?  Cutler hit the ball off of the T really hard, and ran straight for the pitcher's mound - woops!  It was really funny watching all those kids race to get the ball!  I love that Shawn was able to be at the games.  It's a total bummer not getting that paycheck, but it is sure nice to have him around to be a dad!  We are hoping that he will be back to work soon, so we are soaking up all of the "daddy time" that we can get for now.
