Tonight was the first game of my sweet girl’s “professional” softball career.  I see a big future of girls softball ahead of her!  Ya, sure, perhaps I’m a bit biased, but she did tag a runner out at home plate AND hit her first home run ever!  That’s gotta count for something.

I’m so proud of you, Sarah!  I’m so happy you had such a great time tonight and want to enjoy sports again (we had a terrible soccer experience).  I think you’ve found a calling here, little one.  You’re going to do awesome!

And of course, the pictures to prove it!

I had a wonderful day today. Everything was perfect. Shawn and I made an awesome dinner for our family, including my mom, dad and two of my three sisters. We all enjoyed cake afterwards and sang happy birthday to my mom (whose birthday is actually next weekend). It was lovely!

I made it a point today to have a picture taken with my children, and I encouraged my followers on Twitter to do the same. I absolutely love this image.  Thank you to my wonderful husband for taking it!

This picture captures my children’s personalities perfectly.  Their adorable laughing face will keep me smiling for as long as I live.  Never stop smiling, Marcus and Sarah.  The world wouldn’t be the same without your smiles.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
