Abby had her first softball game Friday night. Doesn't she look cute? Her team is called the Lady Dragonflies. It is coach-pitch and Abby hit the ball from a pitch at her very first at bat. She did great.
Abby during warm-ups. Nice action shot!
I have no idea what she's doing here. Not paying attention, that's for sure.
In the field.
That's Adam sitting at the end of the bench trying to hang out with another family. He loves to play on the bleachers near the field and always seems to charm another family.

Abby at first base with Coach Brett. Seth was out of town in Chicago on a bachelor party for his buddy, Steve, and I think Abby missed having her dad on the field with her.
Shaking hands at the end of the game. Abby is second from the back.
Afterwards, I took the kids to Fritz's for ice cream. Adam had vanilla with sprinkles.
Abby had chocolate with sprinkles.
Saturday morning Abby had her cheerleading competition. Here she is beforehand.
Adam is so good! This is him sitting in the bleachers waiting for Abby to perform.
There's Abby in the front row on the left.
Abby's squad won first place! Here they are getting their trophies. It's hard to see, but Abby is the third from the back on the left. 
Here is Abby with her trophy and blue ribbon.
Abby and Adam.
My friend, Erin, got married Saturday night at Busch Stadium, where the St. Louis Cardinals play. Kind of cool. This is Nicole, Jenny, me and Abby.
The ceremony was actually held on home plate.
Erin and her dad.
You may kiss the bride.
The receiving line was actually on the field. This is me, Nicole, Shawna, Abby and Jenny.
Erin with all of her girlfriends. From left: Tiffany, Jenny, Christina, me, Kathy, Erin, Jill, Abby, Emily and Shawna. Front row is Nicole and Char.
Me at the reception inside Busch Stadium. Kind of hard to tell, but that's the actual field behind me.
My birthday was on Tuesday - 32! I took the day off from work and went running. Then I had lunch with my mom at Bread Co. and then went shopping. Then I picked up the kids early and Seth picked up Cheesecake Factory for dinner and we ate it at home. We've found that is much more relaxing than taking the kids out to eat. The kids and Seth got me new down pillows, which is the second time I've gotten pillows as a gift from Seth for my birthday. They are comfy though. :) My real birthday gift is a treadmill but I need to find the time to research and go shopping for one. It will be so nice to have one at the house.
My mom got me new cutting boards for the kitchen and new tupperware and it was exactly what I wanted. I have been cooking more so I find I have an interest in kitchen gadgets that I never had before. (Raia, I may be using my Amazon gift card for something of that nature!) Dawn got me a new cookbook when we went out for sushi Wednesday night. It looks to be pretty good so I look forward to making something out of it next week.
Abby has another softball game Friday night. Saturday, Abby has to help pick up donation bags with the Girl Scouts for their April Showers campaign. Saturday night, I have a bachelorette party for my friend, Kelly (she's marrying Steve, whose bachelor party Seth was just on). Hopefully things start to settle down soon...I think the whole family is feeling tired from being busy all the time. I think it will slow down soon...I hope...
Oh yeah...I'm so embarassed that I keep talking about doing these races and I don't do them, but I am not doing the 10K I had planned to do this Saturday. Just didn't get to run as often as I needed to be prepared. I'm kind of bummed, but I'll keep at it. Hopefully the treadmill will help. Don't judge me! :) I have such good intentions...
