It’s been 84 years…

Okay, not really. It's been over 11 years since I last posted here. I came
back looking for a very specific picture that I knew I could find here. I
wonder...

We are in the process of a VERY exciting pool upgrade. I actually shot this video a few days ago (in the old pool) of the boys and the new "game" they invented.
They had the best time with this and it went on for several hours.....
Oh, the joys of BOYS!!
Once upon a time, there was a girl. And, there was also a boy.
This girl and this boy grew up attending the same school, from elementary through high school graduation. The girl was a good girl, and the boy....well....not so much. He lived on the edge, sometimes learned lessons the hard way. She played by the rules, tried not to rock the boat. He a bit of a rebel; she a people pleaser.
He didn't like her, and she didn't like him.
Fast forward about 10 years. The girl and the boy had both gotten married (not to each other) and ended up attending the same church. They sat on opposite sides, and the girl--always trying to make peace and frankly, be liked by others, said hi when they passed and tried to let bygones be bygones. They ended up in the same Sunday School class and were cordial, but not necessarily friends.
The girl was, however, friendly with the boy's wife; but she was a bit afraid to get to close to her, thinking that the boy still didn't really like her.
Time passed and tensions eased....and a friendship was formed between the girl and that boy's wife. A deep one. Probably, the girl would say, this boy's wife was her very best friend. Ever. And as a friendship was deepening in one spot, it began developing somewhere else: between the girl's husband and that boy. Since the two girls were spending more and more time together, the boys were forced to as well--and they found out that they really did enjoy each other's company and that they had a lot in common.

Last month, we did something very, very special.
We drove over to Indiana to pick up a brand new (to him) truck for Daddy!!
Shane has been looking for a while to replace his truck. If you have seen it, you would know why! We are very, very thankful that his truck has been so faithful for so long, but we decided it was time to upgrade to something that could fit the whole family. Last month, we loaded up the family and headed over to pick up one we found that was perfect!
Time is flying past me. We are smack in the middle of a wonderful baseball season--and I am behind, as usual, in my blogging! This is yet another 'catch-up' post. I'm determined to get them all done!
The end of March brought the end of yet another sport: basketball.
This was the first year our family has been involved in basketball. Shane coached Colin's team and Colin thoroughly enjoyed playing. His best friend also played....
