Grandboys! and a New Member of the Crew

Thought I’d better get this up before all this is old news too.  We have another game to go to this evening after we go in and help the Stones, Mike and Michelle, with some yard work stuff that is starting to make Chelle feel all defeated like.  I know how that feels.  So before we go do that I thought I’d do a little bit of ketchup.

 Last week Kai, oldest son of Eric and Stephie, played his first baseball game.  He’s only eight and is in coach pitch?.  I haven’t the foggiest idea what the whole system is all about, I never did baseball, either as a kid (sixth grade, short stint, home run queen but not that into it to continue) nor as an adult, I’m the economy model mom, remember?

 Steph and Eric are great, Eric works loads of hours and still helps with the team. 

And Step, she is amazing, gardener, cook, home-keeper, momma and teacher to two active boys, and fits in the time to do this thing that, whew-doggy, is a daily juggle, baseball. 

Beings that I am not a baseball aficionado nor do I intend to become one just for the sake of fittin’ in, I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves and leave the commentary up to you professionals.

But one thing I do know about is silly.  

And girls that get carried away.  I am a professional at that. 

At the game, on the sidelines with Aksel, Anna and Danielle got way more fun out of a little boy’s hacky sack than the two little boys did, or were allowed to by the ball hogs.

Danielle is a sweet girl who has been so gracious as to come and be with us as a live-in farm hand.   We couldn’t offer her much in the way of pay, but she was willing to throw some sweat-investment into our budding adventure here.  Hope it pays off for her.  Dirt and I appreciate her work and her families willingness to give up a worker from their place.  She is here not just to help us get this venture movin’ she is also here that we can freely go, which isn’t so stinkin’ free as she fits so well with us that to go someplace without her feels like leavin’ one of my own kids behind.

As usual there is lots going on around here, I hope that God has you busy too Dear Reader and stayin’ outa trouble.  Hopefully you’re not as bad as I.  Even when I’m busy I still find myself in big fat ugly trouble, can’t imagine how messy my life would be if I had time on my hands or talked too much.
