Thinking warm thoughts on a snowy day

Sounds of the House

I love listening to my kids singing and blasting Christian music in the basement!!  Love listening to my kids singing at the top of their lungs to it.  Love listening to the words they make up if they aren't quite sure what they are.  Somehow their version is just as good.

Luke 19:40
"I tell you," He replied, "if they keep quiet the stones will cry out."

Let us never be silent about our love for our Creator!!

Not Mr. Mc Gregor

Erin says, "Quick!! send Murf out he can scare the rabbits out of the garden."  Tyler says, "Erin let me handle this."  He grabs some gloves and the hose nozel and off he goes....And then I hear him yell in from the yard at Erin who's on the deck, "Awe he's so cute and little.  DON'T let Murf out Erin." Erin says, "They may be cute but they eat everything."  Tyler says, "Well Erin we have lots to eat in the fridge and he only has the garden.  I think we should just let him have it."......

Grandpa's cages

When asked how did you learn to hit the ball like that? Tyler answers, "I learned at my Grandpa's cages."
Thanks Grandpa for letting Tyler use your cages. He was 8/8 with on base hits tonight at practice.
Reminds me of a funny story... totally true... and if you know my Dad, even funnier..... I remember as a kid my dad built a pitching machine to use in the backyard. He built it out of spare parts. My guess is, it was a lawn mower engine and a wheel barrel wheel. The ball went through a piece of PVC pipe and the wheel propelled it. On the first trial run it flung a baseball all the way across the highway into a field (about 3/4 of a mile). I remember my Dad's comment, "hmmm ..... that went a little further then I thought." "Not sure I brought another ball."
