     On April 13, Weston played his very first tee ball game.  He was so excited about finally playing on a team.  He was eager to both hit and field every ball that came his way.  His first hit landed him on first base.  Then, as the next batter hit, Weston left first base to go help the other team field the ball, then he ran to second base.  It was hilarious!  He was so proud of himself every step of the way.  Nana, Granddaddy, Mimi, Grandy, Connor, & Mommy were all watching him play, while Daddy helped coach.  It was good to see Weston so happy about playing his first team sport.  Today, I signed him up to play "Soccer ball" (as he calls it) in the Fall.  Will really wanted him to get to play this year, since he had played soccer growing up.  The first game is around mid-September, perfect timing for James Everett to show up, right?  Well, I really hope I'll be able to be present at his first soccer game.  I don't want to miss it! 
     During tee ball season, the teams were scheduled to play two games per week.  The games were during supper time (either 6:00 or 7:00), so it shook up our meal time routine a bit.  It was hard finding a good rhythm of going to games on Mondays and Thursdays, having small group on Wednesday nights, and just enjoying being home together for meals on other nights.  I love that our family sits down for meals together most nights, and we often have family devotion at the dinner table.  This is such a special time that we have together as a family (that unfortunately, not every family has), and I want to protect that time as much as possible.
