Wanna know what makes my heart melt?
(I know there are about 952 things that make my heart melt, AT LEAST 549 involve Mr. Incredible, but this one is truly special...really...no seriously...I mean it)
These two guys.
#3 is a bit on the shy side. Last year we made a schooling change that was over-all good for the family, but very hard on him. He spent the year trying to learn how to make friends and adjust to a new school. Through the whole ordeal, this guy, stuck with him. Even though they go to different schools now, this friendship has stayed as strong as ever. I am so thankful for him and his parents who would drop what they were doing when I would make the desperate mommy call of "he really just needs some friend time right now".
Another night at the ballpark!
We have had ugly heat this week. That is when it's not just hot, not just humid, not just still, but all three put together to make a stifling, grimy, sauna. BUT we have had the most AMAZING sunsets. So that put together with the fact that I am still not over our dreadful winter, I am not quite ready to complain about the heat yet!
These boys use their glove so much that they become like an extension of their bodies. Every glove, over time, forms and fits itself to its owner's hand so much so that anyone else using it would find it just not quite comfortable. This glove will do so much more than catch balls in the course of its life. It will sit on a shelf in the winter with the promise that spring is right around the corner. It will hide a face when a play has been bobbled. It will wipe sweat of the brow of a sun-beaten player. Its leather will be rubbed and worried when the team is down and the game is on the line. It will stand as a flag on the end of an arm in a salute of victory.
The one constant in our summer is baseball. Even though we only have one playing this year, he is on two leagues so between those, camps, and showcases we are at a ball diamond most nights of the week.
That ring is on a hand that is as strong as steel but can be as soft as silk. That hand can tear something up in nothing flat, but build it back better than I ever dreamed. That is the hand I get to place mine in every night and fall asleep.
Welcome to your new oasis dear friends. I hope it blesses you as much as you bless us.
(I think they liked it!)
