I think this is the longest I've gone without blogging. I think about writing a blog every week but I haven't made it a priority. If I wasn't writing all of this for our boys to have as memories of their childhoods, I probably would've stopped blogging by now. But, alas, I want them to remember the good, the bad and the ugly.
Now that the weather is warming up, our schedules are ramping up again. Between fishing tournaments and baseball tournaments, we are busy every weekend. Over Spring Break, my parents came to visit us. We had fun going to Laurel (where my dad became besties with Erin Napier's mom), fishing, shopping and eating lots of good food. It was one of those visits that I wish could have gone on forever.
They left to go back home a week ago and since they left P has fished a tournament and E has had his first baseball tournament. P and his fishing partner didn't catch a fish because it was soooooo cold outside. Every tournament is a challenge and a learning experience. So I have no doubt that, by the time he's a senior, he'll be good enough to be scouted for the Bass Master circuit. E is struggling on his new baseball team and it makes us wonder if we made the best choice, yet again, for which team was a good match for him. Last season it was hard to watch him because he pretty much carried the team and was a one man show. This season it's hard to watch him because his confidence in his playing ability has faded, despite all the time he puts into practicing his skills.
In between fishing tournaments and baseball tournaments, we've got some trips planned for the weekends we don't have to be at a tournament. I love this time of year because of all the fun that we have. It's also an exhausting time of year because our schedule is always full. Last week I was able to squeeze in dinner with a friend. But, usually, we are booked every day with appointments, practices, church, errands, etc. So forgive me if I don't blog a lot. I'll get it done but it may be 55 more days before it happens.
