Softball Fun

Every year a magical time arrives...

A time of green plants and blossoming flowers, a time of wondrous, frightening thunderstorms that light up the sky, a time of warmer weather and unwanted bugs.

With this time comes the ever welcomed, the much looked forward to,
Girls Softball Season!


Julia, now in her 3rd season as a player of the Ponies, absolutely loves it. She is rather good bringing even more excitement to our Saturday mornings.

After 2 loosing season's, this year seems to be turning around.
Although we are only in 3 games, 1 win is very encouraging!


We have to say the most enjoyable part is watching Julia succeed, enjoy the challenge and learn the meaning of team.


Elle of course thinks Julia is the greatest, most amazing big sister there ever was, no matter how she does and it shows.

Fishing Buddies

As the weather holds, Jay, Bill, and Alain have been fishing at all possible and available moments. Fortunately, our area is rich with local ponds and close enough to Bill’s old stomping grounds for the guys to have much luck without a lot of commuting.

I should be quick to substitute “the guys” from my previous statement with “Bill Walker”. As it seems Bill possesses a skill Alain and Jay have yet to develop. It’s very similar to the old nursery rhyme character, Peter Piper. Except Bill doesn’t, call rats, he calls fish (somehow) and there aren’t tights or dancing and skipping about.

It does seem suspicious that the All American Ace Angler - Billy Walker is always catching these gi-normous fish off to the side, and when Jay and Alain are not looking. But who are we to talk conspiracy theory??

Either way, Jay is having a great time!

Pouting Little Bug

After a sweet and fun bath, we wrapped Elle up in her Bear Towel and started the "Night Night" process.

It just so happened this night, in all her silliness she decided to pout.

Of course such a face only makes us laugh, and yea she knows it.


We told her how silly it really was and that we just had to get a picture.
I really said, “don't stop, let me get a picture.”

To much surprise, she held this pout, through the house, to the kitchen and until the flash went off. We only got the one shot, but I would say its perfect! Well perfectly silly.

She is growing too fast!
