Piper's a real ball player now. You can feel the intensity, can't you? T-ball is our new Saturday morning activity. While Broc, Miles and I watch from the bleachers, Piper waves excitedly at every opportunity. Our little girl is growing up so quickly. She is starting full time Kindergarten in early September. I will miss her as my little helper, but I'm very excited to see the impact that Kindergarten will have. After watching the news all morning and seeing the devastation in OK, I am heartbroken. Particularly for the parents who are missing children in the rubble or have already lost them. I'm overwhelmed with thankfulness for the safety and health of my family, while I know others do not have that same comfort.
I felt a bit silly the other morning trying to banish bunnies from our garden, like Mr. McGregor stomping around in my slippers. With much help from the grandparents, we have a nice sized vegetable and herb Garden right outside our family room window. Anytime we go out to water and tend to our plants, Piper picks a few sprigs of mint and basil to munch on. She's a bit of a bunny herself now. Miles has little interest in vegetables (unless hidden in spaghetti and meat sauce), so he will quickly turn away from anything green I offer. I'm hopping some of Piper will rub off on him, but I think he'd prefer it if we raised cattle for slaughter. He's a meat loving man. After having Miles, I'm beginning to see the weight of nature over nurture. Many things cannot be taught, like his OBSESSION with automobiles or his outgoing personality. By Gods design he is so different from Piper and I am so blessed to have them both. It makes me wonder what's coming next. Our new little person will be here in 9 short weeks. In fact, our scheduled c-section is set for August 26th. Yikes!
