My Tee

Today before dinner, we had a rare moment. Each of my kids were engaged in a game of Tee Ball. For so long now, its only been Eric and I playing afterschool, at night, and on the weekends. Just recently, with the incentive of a new purple glove, our girls have shown an interest in playing. With the assistance of the tee, the games flow smoothly. Well, as smooth as it could go, with a little crowd around us. This afternoon I sat in my beach chair in our backyard and watched my kids cheer each other on. Ella actually sat next to me in a little chair of her own. I was a spectator of, hopefully, the first of many baseball games they play with each other. Sure, it didn't last long. Alayna eventually had to check on her "pie" in her "oven." Cailin had to help her. Eric had to "destroy" her. And Ella never sits still for very long. As it ended, I envisioned taking our tee along with us on our next trip to the beach for some more fun. With moments like this I can be thankful for our full family :)
