The Best Days

Jackson often says, "Mom, will you throw the ball to me so I can practice hitting? It's ok if you hit me with the ball." That's usually when Dad puts down the waterhose and agrees to throw the ball to him.

I love this time of year! The weather is just perfect and the cool evenings make for long evenings playing in the yard, eating dinner on the backporch, and simply enjoying the slower things in life. Lately, every chance we get, we play baseball or basketball in the driveway. The girls chase each other around the circle drive....Lilly Claire is still crawling, but she is fast! Jody drenches the kids with the water hose as he nurtures our newly planted flowers. The kids pick up roly poly's and want me to go find a container for them. Our life can be so hectic, that evenings like these are priceless! I wouldn't trade being barefoot outside with my kids for anything. These really are the best days of my life.
