Opening Day

Well today was a very exciting day! It was the opening day parade and game for Union City Little League. The boys looked SO handsome in their uniforms.....if I do say so myself:) Charley is one of the assistant coaches (he looked pretty handsome too:):)...and we just learned that one of the other coaches is our backyard neighbor! So funny:)

Since this is their first year, they need some more practice in the basic skills, but I thought they did pretty good today. Of course I am a biased mom...but they did:) Caleb caught a ball really good and Joshua hit the ball and was able to make it all around the bases (not all at one time).

Now on to Missy Poo......Anna was in her own little world at the ballpark...laying on the grass, picking flowers, and singing with all her might.."JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN. ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD. RED AND YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE. THEY ARE PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT. JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD." So cute! She was also arraying my lap with all kinds of leaves that she was gathering. Later in the day, she was holding her stomach and telling me something which I couldn't understand at first. When she repeated it, she said, "I think I have cansaw (cancer). I think you need to pray for me." We have been praying for some people during our prayer time who have cancer, so that is why she had (so to speak) cancer on the brain. Some of the things that that little girl comes up with.................:)

Abby has really been taking off in reading! She now LOVES to read...for which I am EXTREMELY glad. I wasn't sure if she would ever love to read like her sister does, but I think she has finally earned the title, "Book Worm". She has really enjoyed reading "Sarah Plain and Tall" and the sequel to it, "Calebs Story".

On Wednesday, the 18th, we celebrated my Dad's and Charley's birthdays. We gave my Dad a "#1 Grandpa" frame, so I had to take a picture of him and his grandkids to fill it. Of course Buster had to be included since he is part of the family now:):)
