Dad has been busy this summer as a volunteer coach with the legion baseball team. He greatly enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the kids and practice his coaching skills. Grady and I attended numerous games and he loved all the attention he got from the fans. He was snuggled by player's moms and dads, played with and entertained by player's siblings, and took countless naps in his stroller while donning his best baseball attire. Grady loved being outside (though in the shade) breathing the fresh air and catching glimpses of butterflies and other new-to-him creatures. It was a great summer for baseball!
This spring, my great-grandmother LC passed away. She was fortunate to live a long and full-of-love life but, we will all miss her dearly. At the end of July, the family gathered together at Mouse River Park, ND to celebrate her life and her memory and to scatter her ashes over the original homestead near the Canadian border. It was a beautiful day to celebrate a beautiful woman!
I have absolutely enjoyed my summer at home with Grady. I was fortunate enough to get to observe him experiencing and learning so many new things and reaching new milestones. School starts in mere days and though I am getting eager to get back to the "grind" I know I will miss enjoying my morning coffee with his smiling little face beaming up at me. Grady will be heading back to daycare and call me crazy, but I think he's excited? Each time I ask him, "Grady... are you excited to see Mandy (our daycare provider)?" he responds with a huge, toothless grin and a little squeal! Hopefully, she's just as excited!?
As I head back to work, I am making a promise that I will be better about updating our blog. I didn't open my computer very often this summer... too busy enjoying it :) But, with lesson planning and material research, etc I will be glued to this screen for the next 9-months so I will have plenty of time to keep up with all of you! Enjoy these last days of summer.... May God Bless You!
