Finally, a day without rain. The river that runs through our neighborhood is at flood stage, but isn't affecting anything around us, just further down the road. I m deliberately looking for signs of Spring now, you know, buds on the trees, flowers, anything, anything!

Well one other way I can tell Spring is here is that Andy has baseball. And I don't know if I am missing something, but it seems like he is at practice or a game almost every other day, including Sundays. I'm not happy about the Sundays, but as far as I can tell, most practices are after church is over. The Monday night games interfere with my Purpose Driven Life meeting, though and the Tuesday night games with his peer-grief meetings. And I thought other families had it bad with more than one kid (and I'm sure you will share those with me!) A total of 21 practices and 16 games over the next month!

And to top it all off, I have another sinus infection. Fortunately, I went through the fever/chills/sore throat early, and will visit the doctor (hi, how are ya!) for some antibiotics. He will remind me that the allergy shots will help prevent the infections, and I will tell him I have no time for the shots, I'm running to baseball right now.

I've received a lot of email on the preceding post, "Wimps and Barbarians." Check out the full article and come back and join the discussion. Monday, we will talk about the girls in a similar light.

I'm off to visit M Saturday (yay!) and Sunday, our church will have a great evening service; since there was a decision to cancel regular evening services, the one meeting on the third Sunday of the month will be packed with testimonies and song. Just the kind of spiritual recharge I need. Have a great weekend, my friends!
