Beautiful Day

Criddle playing in the snow.

Luke had a basketball tournament in Mt. Vernon. It was sunny and in the 40's and just beautiful. We walked from the Middle School to the High School, for our last game without coats on. It gets in the 40's and we think it is a heat wave. It was so beautiful though with the snow melting, you could hear drips of water falling, pretty puddles glistening in the sun, I was so happy to be outdoors.

When we got home even Criddle wanted to go play in the snow when I opened the doors to the deck. Isn't she the cutest cat ever.


I think Luke is daydreaming about baseball or playing outdoors in the beautiful sunshine. He has had a tough year with Basketball...I think he is frustrated and not enjoying the game. It makes me sad because he is a great played but something is up with this team and I can't put my finger on it. Luke needs to be challenged and constantly learning and that isn't happening for him. After he showered he came out with his new bat and said "Dad, can we go hit some balls in the garage, into the net?" So, he took 100 cuts and felt much better.

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.-- Satchel Paige

I never gave a thought to what cats did in the snow. You see pics of dogs in the snow all of the time - but cats? You do have the cutest cat ever.
I think baseball must be Luke's true sport. Jake was always the opposite - just seemed to shine and be happy whenever he was shooting hoops - from the time he was little. He'll get it worked out.

I don't know what happened. Every time I click on your blog, I get the same picture of Luke and Erica with their butts up in the air. I have to click on Search Blog before I get your "current" pics. Would you know why?
