I seriously doubt I’ll miss this

Max has a horrendous habit of never picking up after himself, especially at the kitchen table. After relaxing evening sitting here, drinking some wine and watching TV, I looked back to see this. David chuckles and tells me that in 20 years time I’ll look back and missed us and I should captured as a photo. 

So here it is, will I miss this mess everywhere?

Clair and softball

This fall I got the pleasure of coaching Clair in softball for the first time. I really enjoyed the team. I have two very helpful assistants. Tonight was our last practice. I love practicing at Libertytown, under the lights, in the fall. This park olds, many great memories, and each softball season. I’m coaching is one of them.

Clair worked hard this year. She tried a little bit of pitching. She’s been working hard in the field. She’s been trying to get better at her hitting. Clair still loves every sport and it’s hard for her to pick one to focus on. I think my girl just really likes being busy. This year she enjoyed having her friend Olivia on the team with her. It was Olivia’s first time playing sports and she really worked hard at it. I’m proud of her. I’m proud of all the girls. Most of them you could see them really working hard this season. 

here are a couple pictures of Clair hitting tonight. I really didn’t get many pictures of her the season. I only decided to take the pictures tonight because I managed to dress her like the perfect Hokie! Love it! And her!

A beautiful fall family day

Today, the kids are off school and I took the day off work, and David took the day off work. We decided to go enjoy Gavers Farm as a family. Everybody was looking forward to it, and that was the best part.

We’ve been taking the kids here ever since they were little. I don’t think any of them remember a year not going. It’s full of for fun. And, there are the most amazing views. So I absolutely love taking pictures there.

I was worried when I said we were gonna go as a family that I would hear moaning from Ellie, which would then me and Max would moon too. But she didn’t. She said she was excited. When we were leaving Max even thanked me for going, and they all said they had fun.

We have a standard way that we approach the farm, and everybody has things they enjoy and things they love. Some of our favorites are the various slides, throwing the wiffleball’s at the top of the hill, the music station, the water, ducks, and the ring toss game.

Lots of fun was had by all and I made everybody pose for more pictures and they wanted to.
