Batter Up!

Baseball season has officially started. I'm not sure that I'm ready for all of the busyness involved with another sport schedule, but there's no going back now. :) Ben is playing Prep 1 with the Leo-Grabill Little League. Initially, Curt said that he would not coach this year and that it would more laid back than last year. That didn't last long. When they were really in need of more coaches, Curt committed to being the head coach. Ahhh! That has made a lot more work for him, but hopefully he will be able to enjoy it more when all of the "kinks" are worked out.
 
Ben had his first game on Saturday. It was at 1:00, which is right when Lucy takes a nap. They also had to be there early for pictures. So, I decided that I would stay home and let Lucy sleep and we would catch some of the other games. Curt's parents were visiting, so they very nicely took some pictures for me at the game.
 
Go Tigers!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
