A Little Behind...

Jeez! I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since I wrote on here. I guess we have been busy!

Baseball is still going strong. Dan, our boy, is starting to see some more playing time and secondary to an injury of the other catcher he may get more than he planned. This is good as he was a red-shirt last year at UCSB and hasn't seen live pitching in a year so the repetition and at-bats are welcome. We have been to most of the Twins games, but if you have every been with an almost 2 year-old then you know that you don't "see" much of the game! I am exhausted when I come home from these and question my sanity for making the decision to go each and every time! I hear my mother coming out in me saying "Reed, you need to sit!". You know, I have heard this my whole life...you sit at ballgames, you don't run around. Well, we run around because I can't sit with REED! I feel like I played the game! On the bright side Reed has made some new friends. I am not the only crazy mother with a two year-old there. The coach's wife has one too, and she is 8 months pregnant! She wins the CRAZY award! The boys play really well together and have fun "playing baseball" on the side.

Work is getting busy for me and I am learning the art of saying NO. I know what you are all thinking. I should be good at this because I live with Reed and that is about all you say in a 24 hour period with him, but I am not so good at work...I am at home! :)

I have built my schedule up and actually am a little busier than I want to be, but that will cycle as I discharge and learn how to manage what I have and learn how to work with a new PTA...boy do I miss my dear friend and colleague Amy!

Todd is staying busy as well. He had a HUGE tournament for fastpitch girls softball the weekend before the fourth of July. 43 teams. That is his biggest ever. It went great, other than some extreme heat. We didn't see him for about 72 hours! Reed and I really miss him when he works weekends like that. We got some good family time in over the 4th though.

Hey! Wondered where you were!! Just stick with Reed and sitting. Nolan finally figured it out and then once Cheryl turned around to talk to him at a basketball game and he told her "quite talking, turn around and watch the game"! It finally sets in!!! :) And works really well! :) HA HA!!!

Love the new picture of Reed, he is getting so big. I miss you as well, the clinic is awfully quite and takes on a different atmosphere without you. I don't think I like it.
