Mother's Day 2.0

 I have said it before and I will say it again:
 "How is it possible that out of all of the boys in the whole world we got the best ones?"
It is one of those pinteresty sayings that Mother's of Boys flock to, but it's because it is so fitting. I consider myself extremely lucky and beyond blessed to be linked to these two wonderful human beings. The love they have for each other, and the love they so willingly give to others makes me glow with pride. Mother's Day is just one of those days that highlights the blessings I have been given.

 This was my first year participating in a school related Mother's Day activity. Connor's teacher put together a picnic for all of the mommies and we had such a nice time. I took the remainder of my leave to be able to participate and it was beyond worth it. His smile at knowing I would be there made my heart hurt for every drop off and pick up I have missed. Mommy guilt is real. The invitation also included mommy representatives and I'm glad that his Grandma who does get to do those special duties was thought of too. She came for a little bit of the picnic as well. It's interesting because the other day he referred to us as his "2 moms". That's one lucky boy!

 On Mother's Day proper I was awakened with a multitude of presents and goodies. Connor couldn't wait to get me out of bed!!! The trio came bombarding in arms full of Dandee Donuts, Starbucks, Pandora, gift certificates for massages and manicures, and kisses galore. Talk about feeling spoiled!

 Church was wonderful, and it's nice to be somewhere the whole family is at.

 We spent the evening in the pool, and it was also Caleb's first experience with it. He was amazing!!! It was incredible. He was so relaxed he ended up falling asleep on my chest in the water. My mommy heart was perfectly content. It was a pretty perfect day, Tim did a great job!

 Oh Tball! How you have become such an ingrained part of our lives. I have a love hate relationship with it though because it is edge of your seat excitement and nerves all rolled into one. Connor's final game of the season put them into a great spot for the playoffs. By then we were practically living at the fields with a double header one day.

 We found our pack of fans liked to sit under the shade tree near third base to enjoy the shade and more comfortable seating. Caleb had fun playing on the picnic blanket during games, and Grandma made sure she was at every game too. Connor perked up every time Papa was there.

 I had mixed feelings going into their last game because you always want them to win and do their best. I also wanted him to lose because that way he would be at the awards ceremony and get his trophy with everyone else. If they won he would have to miss it because we were heading to Disney. We had our game faces on none the less, supporting player number 5!!!

 They ended up losing to the Giants, who rightfully had an incredibly stacked team. Connor played so well, and always enjoys making it on base and all the way to home!

 I am so incredibly proud of how hard Connor played this season. It was his first time playing real T-Ball and he did great. He was also the youngest on his team and still was able to keep up. I can't wait to see how he grows into a great player. He had great coaches who practiced on technique and learning the rules of the game, and even let Daddy stand in whenever he could. I know it was hard to always get motivated to come home from school and head to a game, or wake up early on Saturdays and play in the hot sun, but he did it! I'm thankful for Grandma, Papa, and Kaitlyn who also made Connor feel so special by having a great cheering section. "Run, Dash, Run!!!" was the greatest thing to hear, and even caught on with the other parents! I can't wait for another season and a new team in the fall.
