Awesome Saturday!

For once, in a long while, we were all home together today. So after everyone got up we ate some breakfast/lunch, loaded up the kids and the neighbors' dog--whom we are dog sitting for the weekend--and went to our local park.

This is Abbey. She is a sweety.

We had a blast! Veronica and I played catch and I threw her some grounders and pop flies. She is really good for never having played. I can't wait for her to get some games under her belt. That is the fun part.

The boys skateboarded and played on the playground with other kids. Ebby layed a sheet out on the grass and dug into the new John Grishom book, The Appeal.

The weather...oh the weather. You know, low 70's and perfectly sunny, a slight breeze, not a cloud in the sky. We suffered through it though.

I am glad that we discovered early that some of the most meaningful times in our life have been simple, uncomplicated time spent enjoying each other's company. Today was a great day.

Now every one has spread to the winds for the afternoon. Ebby went to the movies with her mom, Veronica went to her friend's house. She lives right across the street from the park, and the boys are outside playing. All of this equals quiet time for Ron. It's beautiful.
