Spring is here and so is baseball season!

I have been a bad blogger Mommy. The last two nights I was just too tired and cranky to post anything on the blog. That on top of the fact that the space bar on my laptop is broken thanks to an unfortunate incident of frustration on my part just made for bad blogging energy. Molly pointed out to me that when she relayed a message to Mrs. Nelson that I missed her because I haven't seen her in a while Mrs. Nelson told her to tell me that she always knows whats going on because of the blog and therefore, according to Molly it is imperative that I blog every night!

Peter is so good with Annie and she adores him! She was kissing on him for about ten minutes until she saw the camera come out and then she couldn't take her eyes off of me!
Peter and Tyler had their first baseball game last night. It was freezing!
Katie was all bundled up in her stroller and asleep through the whole game!
Uncle Bob and Tyler at first base! I missed Tyler batting because there was trouble in the dugout - I'll get him next game!
My adorable nephew looking slightly bored at first base as he waits for another player to hit the ball so he can run. Coach pitch baseball is extraordinarily slow!!!!!!!!!!
Peter getting ready to hit - he was very nervous about not being able to hit the ball in front of everyone! He had some trouble but then got the hang of it!
Pete connects with the ball!

Tyler on 3rd base waiting to run!
Uncle Pat giving Peter some pointers on hitting the ball!
Peter taking another swing!
And finally after 3 foul balls he gets on base!
Tyler gives the other coach a high five as he makes it to home base!

Annie and Molly bundled up to watch the game! They were freezing!
Annie with Peter's sunglasses on - she loved them!
And then got tired of them and tried to get them off but her fingers were stuck in her snow suit!
Karla gave me some of Abby's clothes for Annie and I thought she looked adorable in this one - plus I remember it from Abby!
My love bug can't get enough of the camera!

The game went well but it was freezing - we ended up only staying for one inning because Molly Doll started coughing! Abby and Molly spent the entire time playing in the field - they didn't seem to notice the freezing cold wind as Karla and I huddled together on the bleachers with the babies trying to stay warm!

It has been a long week at work and next week promises to be even worse with three grants due and a site visit on tap for one of my programs so I'm not sure how much blogging I'll do. The computer is also incredibly slow because I have so much garbage on it so I'm hoping Meghan (picture a pleading look on my red blotchy face) will figure out how to fix that for me so that I can do this in under an hour! Incidentally, Meg and I watched "27 dresses" last night - I was less than entertaining but had some guacamole and salsa and some quality time with Meg. I've learned that with youngsters (anyone under 25) you need to take them whenever you can get them because the opportunities aren't always frequent anymore. So I got Meg all to myself and the movie wasn't bad either. Meg also managed to "accidentally" wake up two out of three children for some quality time with them - I wonder how that happened. Molly got her Irish Step Dancing costume tonight - she looks gorgeous in it and is SO excited for her recital.

Tomorrow is opening day for baseball - I prayed for rain until I realized that the rain date is Katie's christening day so now we are all praying for NO RAIN!

Good Night, Mom! I Love You!
