Sunshiny Day

Today I woke up for work already counting down the hours until I would arrive back home to play with the kids outside. I can't believe this beautiful weather we are having in March. I rushed home from work to find my babes playing basketball in the driveway. I dropped my work stuff in the garage and joined the game. It was so nice to be outside and enjoying the warm sun.

Jackson and Aubrin have been loving their new scooters that they got for Christmas. For a large part of this winter they have been riding them around in the garage. Jackson is buzzing around on his with no problem. Aubrin is trying to get her balance, but a lot of concentration is needed. There is no looking up, only looking at her feet to make sure "they are doing it right."

Yesterday started baseball season in our house. Try-outs are this week and then... let the season begin! Todd told Jackson last night that he could come up to the field after dinner for the end of practice. I don't think I have ever seem Jackson eat so fast. He was ready with his bat and glove in hand and his helmet on sitting in the car, as Aubrin and I were still finishing dinner.

When we got to the field Todd was finishing up try-out. Jackson knows that he is not allowed on the field unless invited. He patiently waited for Todd to see him and ask him to come out. It warms my heart to see Jackson's passion for baseball grow and his understanding of the game. As Jackson ran out on the field, Todd had all of the guys in a group talking with them. The guys noticed Jackson running out and acknowledged he was there with high five's and "what's up little man." He's back with the team and feeling proud.

Today's weather gets me excited for summer- lazy mornings, the smell of sunscreen and playing outside in the warm weather with no sense of time. Although it's still ways away, it puts a smile on my face just thinking about it!
