This one is about Luke...

Today will be about Luke...

Luke was really surprised to see our neighbor, Todd, on a new Harley. With it being Harley week, both boys are motorcycle wild. Luke wanted a short ride. They went up the street and then in a cul-de-sac clinging to Mr. Todd. He loved it.

Nana, do you see his crocs? They haven't been off his feet since he got them. :)

Luke got to play first base today at T-ball. He was also given the option to be thrown the ball by Connor's dad or use the Tee. Luke opted for the throwing, of course. He hit it hard- one of the only kids who connected with the ball!! It surprised Mr. Jeff so much he had to hop off the ground to not be hit. The head coach for Carolina Forest Cougars has a daughter on the team and was really eyeing Luke hard!!!

I think he has the baseball stance down pretty well...:)

Wednesday's new Geese!

Look at these little ones!

They are new to the pond yesterday.

We went out to feed the geese and looked down the pond and saw these little ones. They wouldn't come down the pond for a pic, but today mama goose brought them down. We watched as mom and dad both surrounded them and didn't leave their side. I'm sometimes scared of the water being in the backyard, but know the boys have a healthy respect for it. The best thing about the water is all the wildlife. We have had so much fun.Here is Bubba this afternoon feeling much better after the stomach flu. I'm sitting in a chair with my head back taking the picture. I had been ill all day and didn't feel like being out of bed, but Luke wanted to play outside as well. Since I can't let him out alone, I sat in the shade watching the impromptu ball game.

Please note the lack of shoes...he IS my child!!!

What a preppy man!

This is quite a preppy man. He got some hand-me-downs from Christian this weekend and he went through them like the proverbial kid in a candy store. They all had to be tried on, the big ones put away for later and the ones that fit were worn to school today. He got so many whistles and comments when he came in sporting his blazer and button down shirt. He was so proud.

I had to take Charlie to the MD today due to 2 tick bites on his rear end which I saw in passing this morning. They were the size of silver dollars with huge welts. That and the fever /vomiting over the weekend had me seeing Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Lyme Disease. Dr. P said that he'd rather be safe than sorry and put Charlie on Keflex and measured them to ensure they don't get any bigger. I wanted to post a picture of the bites, but Charlie completely refused. I told him it was for Science, but he said the answer is still NO. I guess that's just the nurse in me. He feels as right as rain right now. Going back to school tomorrow DEFINITELY!

I'm back!!

Here I am again! It feels like so long ago that I blogged! Almost a whole month! Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I have had a great day with my two and my great hubby. We drove to Greenwood yesterday after the games for Mother's day and my mom's birthday (5-14). All the grandkids posed for the picture with mom and dad. We managed to get a few good ones between us all. The great lady in the green top is mom's cousin, Bonnie, who has been around us three girls our whole lives. She is our honorary mom. She was not blessed with any children, but loves us and our kids like her own. I could not believe how much Lucy, Harris, and Chris have grown! Such beautiful children!
This is one of my favorites from the weekend. My two sisters are my link to this world. The only one missing from the picture is Mamie. She is our sister now, too. When I said that all the grandkids were there, there was one missing from the picture. She is "Tiny Tigress", growing inside MiMi. She is feeling well, is just starting to show and is a beautiful blooming new mom-to-be. Jay wasn't able to come, but she flew out anyway. It was so good to see both sides of my family this weekend.

On the way home, I counted some of my many blessings and was very comforted to know that when Jeff is away I have such a great family behind me for support. God is SO good!
