Ti & Baseball

We were at the baseball field every night with either Noah or Andrew playing ball.  Poor Ti has had to come along whether he wanted to or not.  This is what he did at every game.  I made sure I set where there was some dirt and he played in it with his tractors.

This was at the end of the game.  He was a little tired.

He really has done great about just playing around us.  We don't have to chase him near as much as you would think you would have to chase a two year old at the ball park.

Almost Done

I think we went to our first meeting in January and we are now waiting for the call to do our final walk through.  The foster process has been pretty long but we know that God's timing is always best.  I think the room is complete....well almost complete.  I am going to put her name above the bed.  I hope whether it is used temporarily by a few kids or the child God has planned as our forever child,  they will feel safe and loved.

This is the first pink we have ever decorated with in our home.  Noah's comment was  "Mom, it is beautiful".   

Behind the curtains is the closet.  Aren't they beautiful.  Kendra made them.  I don't think she will be volunteering to do that again....well I guess she didn't volunteer to begin with, I asked.  But anyway...It is hard to sew that type of material.



Now we are just waiting to see who God is going to allow us to minister to.

2011 All Stars Weekend

We had a great time at Noah's baseball tournament.  He tried out for the All Stars team and made it.  WOOHOO  He really, really, really wanted to make the team and God allowed it to happen.  So on Father's Day weekend we headed to Conway for the big event.  Well not all of us went....Ti got to stay with Memaw and Papaw.  It was kinda nice not having to chase a two year old around for the weekend.  During the tournament Noah played left field, center field, second base and pitcher.   What can I say he is very versatile.   I am his mom.... but I thought he did awesome.  The team only won one game but considering this was the first time they had ever played a game together I thought they did great.  We had a great time visiting with all the other families and I even went with the other moms and got a pedicure on Saturday morning while the boys were at batting practice.  We wish they had won a little more but we still had a great time.

Just So You Feel Better

I am showing these pictures just so you can feel better about your own closet.  I am sure none could be as bad as mine was.

I went through our shoes and am giving away a huge trash bag full.

Tim put up some shelves.  Which is helping a lot.

So Now Don't You Feel Better About How Your Closet Looks!!!!

OUCH

Andrew got hit in the face with a baseball at one of the games.  I know it might come as a shock to some but he wasn't paying attention when someone threw him the ball.  hehe  On the downside I had to use a half a pack of wipies because of the bloody nose.  But on the good side the tooth fairy came a little earlier than we were expecting her.  Obviously baseballs are hard on loose teeth.  He was a trooper though he went ahead and played in the game.

Andrew Graduation

After Andrew's graduation we took him out to eat.  We didn't all get to go since Noah had a stomach bug.

The Briar Rose was great.  I highly recommend it.  A little expensive but super tasty.  It was Andrew's choice.

He chose this pastry item plus a sausage roll.  He thought the pastry looked better than it tasted.  The cinnamon roll was wonderful.

 The whole family came to support this BIG event.

 Sutter & Andrew.  Andrew says this was his best friend in his class.

 Nannie, Pops & Andrew

Andrew you learned so much this year.  Your reading is taking off.  We love to see how you are kind to the other students and you want to please your teacher.  You almost always get a smiley faces and when you don't it makes you very sad.  Your favorite class is PE.  Your best friend is Sutter. You would rather bring your lunch than eat in the Cafeteria (which kind of makes mom sad).  You got student of the month during the year and Kiwanis's terrific kid award.  You played both basketball and baseball during the year. 



Natural's Baseball Clinic

Andrew got to go to the Natural's baseball clinic with just his daddy since Noah was leaving for church camp.  It was very VERY  hot but he had a great time.
