OK, so I'm back on the job! My blogging will be better, I promise! In the time that we were in limbo, not knowing whether we were staying or going, I told myself "I'll start when we arrive wherever we're going". Now that we're staying here in Alabama, I guess we have kind of arrived. Phase 2 of our little family's life. Lance decided to retire from baseball about 10 days ago. We are so proud of him and thankful for the time he had living out his dream. God closed that door after we waited patiently and prayed fervently that he would open it for one more year. His ways are higher (and better!) than ours, so I'm looking forward to what He has in store for us. I can't even imagine what it must be. Today, we are just held accountable to listening to his voice for this 24 hour period, then tomorrow we will do the same. Who knows what's next!Well, I'll tell you one thing that's next... T-ball!
Yes, we are in week 2 of LJ's 5 year old Spring Season. He is having a blast!!! Last year, when the team would lose or if he got out, he collapsed in a puddle of tears on the field. He took it so hard. My goal this season was to teach him some "sportsmanship". I got him some "rewards stickers" for his helmet. Every game where he's a good sport, accepts his own perfections (and others') with a smile, he gets a sticker on his helmet! He LOVES This idea. When he misses a ball and a kid gets on first, he even gives him a thumbs up and tells him "good hit"...then looks at me, and says, "I'm getting a sticker, right?" Yessiree, you are! And an ice cream! With sprinkles! :) His favorite song right now is "Learning to be the Light" by Newworldson. Click HERE to listen and see the video. It's perfect for this new lesson - He's learning to be the light, and a bright one, at that! You should hear him sing this song in the back seat of the car. It will melt your heart. I can't imagine what it does to God's heart to hear him sing it.

It is a MAC DADDY lens. Super for sports, (or finches in the back yard? anyone?)...well, the sports pics actually provide a pay check! The finches are for my enjoyment. Here is an example of both:)
I'm also taking more family photos. I did a delivery session (photographing a birth) and a newborn session following a few days later. Preciousness. I can't even describe!! Here's a few photos:
Lance has kept busy, creating a resume', meeting for potential job opportunities and helping Uncle Wood with his middle school team. They are so funny. If those kids don't win, it won't be for lack of coaching! LJ gets to be the bat boy, and Erik says every day the boys ask, "Will LJ be here tomorrow?" They even chant his name when he comes. Livin' the life!! ...and he gets yet ANOTHER uniform!
So, that's us, in a nutshell! Hope you enjoyed the catch-up!!! I'll do better from now on, I promise! (Hey, even once every few weeks is technically "better", right?) :)
