Fevers and Baseball

First off, I thought I'd post a pic of how caring Zack can be with his sister. He was ever so gently brushing her hair for her. I love this side of him, and I encourage it. How better to learn how to care for the future women in his life than from those in his life now!

I have heard some parents say that it is not their children's job to take care of each other, and I agree with that. But, I do think it is a parent's job to teach their kids how to care for others and what better way than to let them help in small ways whether it be brushing hair, microwaving popcorn or helping a sibling to wash their face. To me, it just makes sense!


Zack wanted to wear a fauxhawk today. He didn't realize he'd be wearing a hat for his baseball pictures! Here he is trying to put his hat on without messing up his hair - LOL!

Chit chatting with Elisha. I love standing back and listening to little boys talk. It seems to always be about some type of competition which is fine by me.

Sophia had a game today as well. She got a couple of great hits and not off a tee either. She also hustled on the field. Today she was learning to throw the ball to first after she fields it. It is fun to watch her. Every player gets to bat and run around the bases. There are no outs!!!

This is Zack's baseball team this season. His first game is next week. It is kid pitched so it should be interesting!

My dad would have LOVED seeing this next pic! I can't help but think how much Zack's grandpa would have loved to watch him play. At least, his name lives on in my brothers and his two grandsons!

After game relaxation! Zack and Sophia have both had the flu this week. We're talking three days of high fevers! Every time Zack would get up he would say that his brain hurt!!! Now I'm feeling very achey myself!

Sophia relaxes after her game watching some boring educational program her mom chose!!! I HATE cartoons! To me, most of them are brain rot...
