Beatin' time is a losing fight...

...but I guess I'm doin' alright. "I'm Alright" JoDee Messina

Not a huge country fan by any means, but there are a few songs that resonate. That is surely one song that I like and is just totally true.

Today was Ellie's first birthday party. (She's my dear friends daughter) I absolutely, positively cannot believe that baby is one. Just cannot believe it. Yet, here she is, dressed in her bling tank and tutu with babylegs underneath - eating her first cake.

The point of this is just as the title says..."beatin' time is a losing fight". Can't stop it no matter how hard I try. Look at Harrison -- he's sitting next to me batting toys on the travel swing. He's batting at toys because he's almost 3 months old. I told Andy this morning that I would continue to call him 2.5 months because I'm unwilling to let him grow this fast. I just cannot believe that the best baby in the world is getting bigger!!

Thing 2 has had his first tee ball practice tonight. Can't wait to hear how it went - hopefully he had lots of fun. He went decked out in baseball pants, socks and cleats. He was also sporting a GAP sweatshirt. That goes, right?? He was supposed to have a favorite baseball player. I picked A Rod for him. I figured it was a safe choice. And, it was the only one I could think of at the time. Can you tell I'm not a huge baseball fan?
