My sweet husband asked me Monday night if I was ever planning on blogging again!

Spring means one thing in the Merriman household - it's BASEBALL season. This is the first season out of 6 seasons of baseball that the boys are finally on the same team - THANK YOU!!!!! Since we have 3 baseball events each week, I am so thankful we only have 1 team. This season has already been incredible. Ryan is coaching and I am one of the team mothers that keeps the dugout in order, this is truly a family event - and we have a blast! Benjamin and Carter work so well together (especially as pitcher and 1st base), the years of playing and catching together are really showing! Plus, our team name is the Rangers, so how great is that.

Other than baseball, we still seem to work around the school schedule. That has been my biggest adjustment this year! Carter is 1 month away from Kindergarten round up and I am having a hard time thinking I will have an empty nest next year. Carter is ready and excited. He went for his 5 year check up for his birthday 2 months ago. He is telling everybody that the doctor said he was ready and signed him up already! Needless to say, he is excited!

Benjamin is loving school and looking forward to 1st grade. His goal for the entire year is to get all stars in his folder (in our school that means good behavior - no writing). He loves PE and time on the big playground, go figure! He complete the marathon kid event and received his T-shirt. It is amazing what kids will do for a T-shirt. He tries to wear his shirt weekly to show it off. If is hard to image summer around the corner. Our weeks and weekends are already getting planned. Our goal is to spend as much family time together as possible!
