Glimpses Of Spring

The weather has been beautiful here this week! The sunshine is making me ready for spring. My maple tree is blooming and all my flowers are blooming. I love this time of year with all the new life. My house plants have even perked up with the sunshine coming through the windows. Spring also brings baseball! 


Andrew has a game Monday and a tournament on Thursday. He actually has off from baseball today but will practice Saturday and Sunday. Christopher has been practicing with his travel baseball team. He has a tournament in Texas in two weeks. This is the time of year basketball and baseball overlap so it is a little crazy with sports. Christopher has a basketball tournament tomorrow and maybe next week if they win tomorrow. Then it's just baseball and golf for Christopher. Kevin does have a few more weeks of basketball but he hasn't started baseball yet so it's not too bad for him to still be playing.

It was 87 degrees and very sunny here yesterday. 

Today was a little bit cooler but still sunny. 

Here are some Glimpses of Spring pictures of my yard!




My maple tree is blooming!

We are about to head out to the high school to see a drama production. Daniel is working so I am taking the boys. Hopefully Andrew won't fall asleep. Last night for practice the team had to run and do conditioning the whole practice. Apparently there have been players getting in trouble at school and the whole team was being punished. Andrew was glad to be a cross country runner last night. They had to first run around the LSUS campus and then conditioning and then all kinds of running drills on the field. As Daniel told Andrew "Welcome to high school sports." Andrew did ok but there were many throwing up and some hurting. Hopefully lesson learned! Behave at school if you don't want your team to have to run! I took Christopher and Kevin to watch. It was an eye opener for Christopher. It's not just about your ability, it's about your character too! It is also about your grades. Here is a link to an article about Andrew's baseball team and how the coach looks at their grades every Monday.  Byrd Baseball Places 37 Student-Athletes on Honor Roll  I am so thankful for the encouragement and discipline the coach gives for the player to be all they can be in ALL areas of their life. We have been preaching this to the boys for years so it is nice to have backup!!!

Tomorrow night, I will be taking the boys to watch Daniel referee (head referee "white hat") a Semi-Pro football game. Praying that an adult football player doesn't run over him. :) Seriously, Daniel has had a cold and not feeling real perky but is looking forward to refereeing on Saturday. He loves it!!!! I will try to get some pictures to post. 

Happy Friday! We are off to watch the production of And Then There Were None.
