Today was Maxwell's first T-ball practice.  We found out last week that his team name is "Riverdogs".  Perfect for Max since he has been a huge fan of dogs for years.  He was counting the days until his first practice.

His practices are on Wednesdays which just so happens to be Sophie's gymnastics.  Wednesdays will be our busy day.  The kids got off the school bus this afternoon and were greeted by Otis and my neighbor Gail and her dog Lily.  As the kids were exiting the bus, Gail and I weren't paying attention to the dogs until we saw all of the kids faces plastered to the windows and Max jumping off the bus saying "Oh Mommy, look at Otis, he is trying to "ride" on the back of Lily".  Whoops.   Gail and I could not stop laughing.  Our dog Otis, God love him, is just......Otis.  I remember when Gail was trying to figure out what dog they were going to get for the family;  I told her "oh, you will get some sweet little designer dog and we are going to get some mutt who licks himself".  This could not be more true.


After gymnastics and a little drama (I was on time picking up Sophie but her class let out 5 minutes prior and the girl thought I was never coming to get her).  I felt terrible and kept on apologizing until finally she said "Mom, it's ok, you really need to get over it".  Love her.  

Dan met us at the baseball field surprising  Max.  Could his day get any better?  He loved  meeting "Coach Finley" and his team.  Can I just say "Max rocks"!  He was having so much fun and I could not get enough of watching him.  His tongue sticking out the side of his mouth as he was at bat, his little wave to me when he saw me, a thumbs up sometimes, playing catch with Dan.  He has a game on Saturday and Sunday.  Should be interesting since a lot of the boys don't know much about the game.  

The coach and the parents could not have been sweeter.  So encouraging and supporitive.  I tell you, I am going to miss this big ol' state of Texas.  The people are the nicest you will ever want to meet.  The sunsets are pretty amazing too.  It was gorgeous tonight.  It turned the baseball field a kelly green.

Enjoy the pictures and I will post some new ones on Saturday with their uniforms.  How cute will that be?
