Today we started a new chapter, one that was inevitable, and I’m thrilled about it. It’s a chapter that I think Charley has been quietly dying to reach since we found out we were having a son. So, today we turned the page of our story and found ourselves in the world of baseball!
I loaded the kiddos into the car to head to Drew’s first practice. He was decked out in his wind pants, cleats, and baseball cap. His new glove sat beside his daddy’s in the front seat. The whole way there he asked a ton of questions about his team, the coach, and so many more that I now can’t remember. We introduced him to his coaches and he was all smiles, after he corrected his name. Apparently, he’s decided in the last couple days to go by Andrew, not Drew. So, Andrew, jumped right into practice and had a wonderful time, stopping every now and then to do a few wiggles – I think he has a quota he’s required to meet daily.
We found out that we’ll be practicing four days a week! There’s something new to me, better load up on those crockpot recipes! As he took off his cleats and we got ready to go eat, I asked him what he liked best about baseball practice. His response? “EVERYTHING!!!”
So, there you go, it was destined to be and here’s my view of something new.
Be sure to add your link to the comment section below so we can see your view. Also, be sure to not only post your’s, but check out the others, as well. Our next week’s assignment is Silhouette.
Happy Monday!

Look at that stance! He’s a natural! He’s all smiles? We’ll see his smiles and add two more!

Something new… my new business cards!!! Yes, I am in the infancy stages of starting my own photography business, and I ordered some (nicer than I expected) business cards from moo.com. Conveniently they just arrived in these pretty little boxes yesterday just in time for me to take a picture of them! 🙂
Oh, nice, Maggie. I didn’t realize you were heading for the business route! How exciting! 🙂
I did two this week and also backtracked and filled in the cloud week. (Since there were zero clouds available that week.) Not the best of pics but at least it was fun to try.

I just love that little boy!!! He is so full of excitement.
Dear Drew: I think you are going to be an awesome baseball player.
