This morning when we woke up, it was a relief not to see the 6-10" of snow that was predicted. Instead we received about 2-3" of wet, heavy, slushy snow. It wasn't the kind of snow you could use the snowblower with because it would clog up the augger so it was time for the old fashion way with a shovel. It was definitely packing snow, it would be a great day to make a snowman or have a snowball fight.
Logan has been enduring a fever since Friday night so I won't allow him to go out, which means Coulson can't either. If one can't do it, then neither can.
Spring, where are you? I realize it is hopeful thinking but I truly hope we'll begin to see tulips, daffodils, crocus and all the other beautiful spring time flowers. The sunlight is lasting longer which is great. It's one step closer to the glorious beautiful days of spring.
I'm hoping to post some recent pictures of the boys.
Have a great day!

The Summer Adventures Continue...& School begins...
When baseball finally ended for the Bain Boy's, we had about 9 days until Scott & I, completely surprised the boys with a trip to Tampa. I had been doing laundry over the weekend, taking clothes and packing them when they weren't looking. The night before we left, I had a back pack with activities for them along with a DSi & PSP. We had the truck packed up before we woke the boys. We told them they were going on an adventure, Logan assumed we were going to Brookfield Zoo. On our way, Logan says, "This isn't the way we go. Where are we going?" This is as we started heading North on I-294/Tri-State. 
Surprisingly, he knows his way around the Chicago area. Then when we parked in long term parking at O'Hare, Logan again says, "Why are we parking here, the zoo is that way." He points South, which was correct. 
We got the boys out of the truck and asked, "What would you think if we told you we are going to the beach and a baseball game?" They both started jumping up and down, screaming. It was cute. We met my friend Susan, from Charolette, SC.
We met Susan at the airport and headed to Tropicana Field. Susan is a native, Bostonian, and therefore a die hard Red Sox fan. We scheduled our trip by seeing the Red Sox play Tampa Rays and Scott was able to check off another stadium of our tour we started two years ago.
The beloved Boston Red Sox, for my dear friend, Susan. 
We were trying to find Daniel Bard, her good friends son. Daniel pitched for the Red Sox and Susan has known him since he was a little boy. We couldn't really see him but she got to see one of her favorites: The Big Boppi, Ortiz.
The next morning, the boys were extremely excited to get out on the balcony. We stayed on Sand Key, our hotel was on the inner bay but across the street from our hotel was the Gulf of Mexico. It was very nice.
This was the view of the pool and the inner bay.
You can totally tell who tans in our family! 
The beach was so nice. I just LOVE the Gulf!! The water is so nice and warm, not to mention the beach is so soft compared to the Atlantic coast. Any beach is nice, don't get me wrong, I love the Gulf!
So all this fun lead us to two weeks of playing around. The time has come for the Bain Boy's Summer Adventures to conclude as they begin the 2009-2010 school year. It was raining on their first day of school. They boys were happy and ready to leave at 6:30 am.
Hopefully this post finds you doing well. I will post some other adventures soon.

Bain Boys Summer Adventures Continue...
Finally, I've uploaded some pictures of our adventures of Spring & Summer 2009.
Celebrating the boys' birthdays with their friends bowling. The had a ball...turning 6 & 7, can't believe it! Time is flying!
Logan is above with a pretty good swing. He is our "Little Rudy," the smallest kid on his team but he had more heart than five of those kids put together. He was always the first one on the field, the first on off and ready to bat. I pray he continues with that enthusiasm. Coulson is batting in the picture below. Don't you just love his stance? This child bats and throws BOTH lefty & right. Most of his season he batted left but threw right...go figure, its Coulson.
Coulson thought Magic needed to see the fish he caught.
Enough!
The new neighbor's puppy, Bandit, loved tugging on Logan.
The boys with Rachel and my dad otherwise known as "Papa PJ" at The US Cellular Field to see the Chicago White Sox. It pained me to buy Chicago White Sox items, it was ok for the Thome shirt as I went to high school with him. If Jim wasn't on the team any longer...it would have been very difficult for me to purchase a shirt let alone a hat. This was my niece's First Major League Baseball game. It's a shame I couldn't have taken her to see the Cubs. Anyway, look at their smiles.
High School friend, Jim Thome. The boys were able to receive his autograph. Jim will more than likely be in the Hall of Fame one day.

It's Been Awhile
It has been Easter since my last post. Time has flown by...School finished and it has been off to the races. We've taken several day trips, lots of birthday parties and trying to sqeeze in everything we can through this crazy rainy summer. One would almost think that are area could become like Seatle. Would it be possible? Since the middle of June we have had baseball, FOUR nights of the work week. The Bain Boys are on seperate teams which require four nights. They love it so much and that's what it is all about! In the next week, I'm hoping to post some pictures of our summer adventures to date.
