Two bad things for my kids:
1. They play better when I don't have a camera in my hands.
2. Their mom is superstitious.
But the camera doesn't have dust on it yet. I walked outside to look at my tulips the other day and I saw Emma pitching to Gav. Her goal was to throw 100 pitches a day. It did my heart good to walk out and hear Gav yell, "67".
In the first years of our marriage, Steven and T used to spend hours throwing to each other. Probably why this nearly made me cry...
Then Gav takes a shot at pitching and the lump returns to my throat...
I swear this was just a couple years ago...
Last week...
Gav, Coop, & Emma in what seems like not that long ago...
(Brooksie doesn't arrive for another two years)
Back to the present is BT catching with Dad...
And another one that feels like yesterday...
Cousins and the ballpark make awesome memories. We're lucky because we can still appreciate the best things in life, even while it feels half-empty. Now just play ball!!!

Aw, those are some great pics! The old and the new ones. I can't believe how much the kiddos have grown up. Love the one of them at the sink in brown brick. Those were simpler times, indeed!
Love!! We need to break out the home movies of EJ and Gav dancing...Gav tries to squeeze in a few chest bumps to knock her over. :) Don't worry, though, that won't happen in the Jr. High halls. Saw Mr. Powers today and he told Gav "Tell uncle Steve that we'll take care of Emma, you and I, we can do it. He doesn't need to worry!" And they will! :)
Ahh, nothing like the ball park memories. Those will always be cherished memories, the good old days. Nothing like it. I'm so glad we have you guys to make new ball park memories with!
Old brown brick and the purple kitchen holds some treasures of the heart, that's for sure. We GOTTA see that video of Gav putting the chest tap on Ej! I will be forever indebited to the G-bank and Powers for watching over Emma at sundevil central. And just when I thought I couldn't love Gav anymore...
Ditto on the past and future memory collection Mand. So fun to see Gav rip the ball every at bat these days too!!!
