Family Fridays

It seems my definition of a fun Friday night has changed quite a bit in the past few years. This weekend I enjoyed a perfect start to the weekend by just hanging out at home with my favorite folks. My people. My little family of four. And it was great!

The weather was pleasant so after dinner we moved our party to the back yard for Bennett to work on perfecting his newest skill.


Oh yes, my not-quite-two and a half year old has declared himself too big to use a baseball tee. So he's moved on to coach pitch.

What a stance.


I love his look of concentration. Apparently sticking the tongue out helps?


Keeping his eye on the ball...it's a hit!


Meanwhile, Dayton finished off some peas and carrots.


Have I mentioned that she prefers to feed herself?




She manages to commandeer almost every feeding operation.


And it makes quite a mess.


Somehow I find her to be irresistibly cute, even covered in icky, sticky baby food.



Hopefully next time it won't be a month between blog posts! I'll try to do better. (But I make no promises...) Until next time!
