One Handsome Devil

Gav's birthday is next week.  I know what I have to get him.  A STICK!!! So he can shake off all the girls! I wish I could take all the credit for his great looks but his mother is responsible for them.  She is one hot momma! I am grateful that she is mine. Honey, it's a good thing you like running now because you will be doing a lot of it as you chase girls off over the next 15 years. Ok... ok... I know... I am an overly proud parent and husband, so sue me. :-)

...and you thought that I was exaggerating.  pfffft!!

Soccer is back on.

This post was messed up from the beginning.  I tried to do it from my phone and didn't quite get it right.  At any rate, the Gavman is back in soccer.  What a difference a winter makes.  Gav is finally becoming more aggressive.  Although we overheard him say "oops sorry" while in the beehive trying to get the ball and he accidentally kicked a teammate.  He stopped to see if his teammate was ok.  I'm glad that he's such a polite kid but come on boy this is soccer!! Save your sorrys for the end-of-game handshake.

Amazing kid

Merrick is just the most amazing kid ever.  Lately he has been waking up looking puffy.  We think his heart may be having trouble getting the water out of his system.  They did x-rays this Saturday, but we have yet to hear back from the Dr.'s.  Even with all the obstacles placed before him he manages to push forward.  Here he is at Cameron's birthday party hitting my pitches.  Keep in mind he just turned three 3 weeks ago.


I got this on the second take too.  (The first take was a bad pitch, my bad.) Yesterday he drilled me with a tennis ball that I pitched to him.  He hit it so hard I couldn't even get out of the way and it hit me right in the chest.
