Thinking about baseball...





Doubleday Field
Cooperstown, NY




Onenta, NY - Single "A" Minor League Baseball Game

With school back in session, my schedule is extremely full and in my limited amount of "free time", I have been trying to buy a house. In the midst of all this craziness, I've been drawn back to the game I love...baseball. October is just around the corner and I know it sounds silly, and even sort of "unimportant" as there as so many other things that I could spend my time following and learning about. But I'm drawn to the game...the daily games, the ups and downs of one team, the pennant race with my team still in first place and the many stories that connect us to "our team." Looking through some of my pictures tonight, I came across some favorite baseball pictures that I took this summer.

America's Birthday....


For the Fourth of July,  I stayed home and enjoyed the holiday in the good 'ol midwest. I went to the city and went sailing, watched the Wheaton parade and of course, had some great BBQ!

Smilin' faces...

I'm very blessed by the little children in my life... Whether they're my nieces or part of my extended Illinois family, their smiles bring such joy to my life. Without a word spoken, they can communicate such a powerful lesson of simplicity and beauty. What a gift they are...

As usual, Carly is charming the entire table with her smile...

Tyler isn't quite sure what to think of my camera...
but gives me a smile that will melt any heart.


Katie is always up for piggy back ride from Papa!
