Jared lookin cool at the beach. :)

Look what Gabe found...

So the beach is fffffreazing, so we did a little shopping this morning at the biggest outlet mall I've ever seen. Beautiful! Gabe found himself a pair of sunglasses. When we returned from the mall, we put on our winter coats and went to the beach (not really on the coat part). Gabe found a load of seashells.

Spring Break

Every year we take a spring baseball trip to the beach. Every year we pack shorts, flip flops, and t-shirts excited for hot sunny weather. This year is no different than years past...a cold 65ish degrees and we are very unprepared. Today was our first day to play ball. We made it through the 3rd inning and the the rain came down. The good news...no more rain the rest of the week.

Good friend, good times

It's become a tradition for my oldest, dearest friends and I to meet once a year. Nothing too fancy because coordinating schedules is near impossible. Unless its a milestone birthday year, we generally meet in Carbondale (about halfway). Carbondale has everything we need...a little shopping, a few tasty restaurants, and a place to stay. There is nothing like good friends to listen, compare kids/husband stories, laugh, and cry with. This year we discovered that it isn't uncommon for any if us to be in the shower and not be able to recall if we've washed our hair or not but we can remember all the words to our favorite song or movie.
