Opening Day!



It's Opening Day in Norfolk!  Baseball season officially kicked off today with the Opening Day parade.  This is Will's third year of baseball but this is the first year that Jack is able to play.  Jack has been patiently waiting for his turn to play so he was so excited for the season to finally kick off (after a delayed start because of all the snow!). 

 

Here is my cute little t-ball player excited to get the season underway. 

 

And Will who was not as tolerate of pictures this year.  He was too busy socializing with all his friends on the team.

Will and his team 

I love this kid.  Always happy, always smiling, always laughing.  You can't ask for much more than that. 

Jacks first game was the next day.  They start out with a practice and then scrimmage towards the end.  Given that Jack has been playing baseball with Will in the yard for a while now, he has the hitting thing down pat and crushes the ball off the tee.

My Little Sunshine

Let's Celebrate!

Will celebrated his birthday with 17 of his closes friends while enjoying a baseball themed party at Extra Innings.  They played baseball and dodge ball, enjoyed some pizza and cake and ended the party with arcade games and prizes!  What more could a little boy ask for?  The kids had a blast and the best part was all I had to do was bring the cake! 

 

Tooth Fairy

Our big 7 year old finally lost his first tooth!  Will has been patiently waiting for this day to come. Most of his friends have already lost at least one tooth so Will couldn't wait for his turn. After two months of wiggling, the day finally came for it to come out (with a little help from dad). 

 

Of course Will was most excited about the tooth fairy and had made a special box to put his tooth in.  That night he woke up every hour on the hour and we had to keep bringing him back to his room telling him he had to stay in bed.  When he woke up in the morning, he came to get us and together we went back to his room to see if the tooth fairy came.  With hands shaking, he pulled out $5 from under his pillow.  I asked him why he kept waking up at night and he said he was nervous about the tooth fairy coming into his room.   If you think about it, it is kind of nerve racking thinking about some strange fairy lady coming into your room and reaching under your pillow while you sleep. 

 

Tooth #2 shouldn't be far behind.  He is wiggling away trying to get it to come out so I'm sure the tooth fairy will be visiting our house again very soon!

Overdue

I am long overdue on blog posts.  I have a lot of pictures and events to catch up on.  Things have been a little crazy but starting next week, I will be back and posting updates on everything that has happened over the past 3 months!

Happy Birthday Will!

 

Happy Birthday Will!!  How did 7 years go by already?  We couldn't be more proud of having you as our son.  We love you more than anything!
