It's the calm before the storm. I feel it. I was asked to chair this years baseball jamboree (thanks Shannon) and later realized that this would be the same time as my bazaar. So...I pushed the bazaar back until June, but I have since realized that this means that I will be already deep in baseball while trying to organize the bazaar. So...here I am now, not much going on, but still anxious because it all starts next Tuesday. That's right...4 days. Tuesday night, we are meeting to plan the jamboree. After the jamboree, I have 4....yes 4 kids in baseball. This means, it will be a nearly every day thing. Talk about putting miles on your vehicle! Luckily we live about a mile from one of the fields, so the kids and I can walk. I love that walk with the little ones. I love baseball season. I love the crazy busy-ness of it all. I love how my heart swells everytime I watch the boys play. They play so hard and are so talented. They never have taken any classes or other training, it is just in their blood. Their uncle Eric was a star baseball pitcher and to this day tells everyone his "Al Bundy", "could have been a pro", story. Myron has a gift for pitching and Brennan is just an all around amazing player. He will be trying out for majors this year, but only because he has played up every year. Brennan was Nathans majors teams helper last year and all his coaches were blown away with his talent. Nathan enjoys the sport, and has a very strong arm, but is still learning the fundamentals. Rylans first year is this year and he is a little disappointed that he has to play t-ball when he is used to being pitched to. Okay, so do I sound like a proud mom or what! Your getting a taste of what I am like during baseball season. My competitive nature comes out and it's scary. I wasn't into team sports in high school. I tried basketball, but wasn't into it. I was more into being cool and boys. Okay Grandmas and Grandpas that read this. There it is. Your bragging rights for the next year.
Sorry, for the regular joes that aren't family that had to read all that. Hopefully you rolled your eyes and stopped reading a few paragraphs ago. xoxo

You're braver than I am! You and Margit...way to go! I signed up Ben for t-ball on the last day possible because I wasn't sure I wanted him to play again. I'm glad I did, he enjoyed it last year, but it can be so painful, too!
Hey, speaking of the Bazaar...I got my hairbut last Wednesday by Sandra Clausen and she was wondering when you were going to do another. So if you haven't done it already you should totally contact her about it. She seemed interested even though she didn't do so well in the first one.
