Opening Day and Spring Training.




No, not for the Braves. We are Panther fans first round here. Mick started his season last Thursday night. Mick has worked extremely hard on their field in the off season (much to my frustration) and everything came together about 5 minutes before gametime. Micah helped me make a big poster and we headed to the field before we went to the airport to pick up Krissy. Micah took markers to the game because he wanted the players to sign his poster. We left quickly and actually forgot to get it done. Micah was so upset. But Daddy came through and when he got home he had poster in hand with all the boys signatures!! Micah was so excited. What a special love our bird already has for his Daddy's game. Mick has been out of school this week, but there is no off time in season so he has had games or practice every day (again much to my frustration). But yesterday Micah got to go to practice since it was in the morning. Usually it is smack dab in the middle of naptime so it was a real treat. He even put on his baseball pants and a little too small panther t-shirt I had made last year. I'm working on a new one...obviously. But Micah had the greatest time and SadieJane and I had some girl time! Mick was fixing things around the field and he mentioned he'd need some more duct tape to fix it. Well, later during practice Micah ran up to Mick and said, "Daddy, I need some of that 'goose tape' you were talking about!" too cute. So thankful even though Mick works long hours that our family and especially our children get to be a part of things. As always, Gooooo Panthers!
