Love’s new definition
The other team had color-coordinated everything... and classy coolers full of ridiculously healthy snacks. Our team at least had matching red jerseys (kind of), juice boxes and homemade cookies... plus a lot of spunk. The other team had cute, little girl cheerleaders.

Going, going, gone….

In case company comes... In case the rain stays away... In case the sun sticks around... ...time to wash the deck chairs. Apparently, at some point in our family history, for lack of a tree to carve... my youngest son immortalized himself in this chair. Amazing what you find when you scrub the dirt away. …
