Sunburns and Baseball

Happy coffee drinking to you! Or whatever beverage you prefer!

Yesterday, my mom and I took Hudson to Cade's baseball game. We were super smart and forgot sunscreen. So naturally, we got fried! I havent been out in the Texas heat for over a year, because last summer I was NOT getting out unless I absolutely had to. Being pregnant in the summer was a terrible idea! We will have to plan that a little better next time!

Hudson went to his first baseball game yesterday!! He watched his Uncle Cade pitch a great game. He sat in his stroller, flirted with all the girls, and had a great afternoon. Dont worry, he was in the shade the whole time.

While I was watching the game, I couldnt help but think what Hudson will be like when he is 10 years old. Will we be watching him play baseball? What kind of kid will he be? I was watching Cade help and encourage his team, and I prayed that Hudson will be that kind of person. It made me look at all the other mothers and appreciate how proud they are of their children. They encouraged and cheered on the boys. Did they look at Hudson and think, "Wow, it feels like yesterday that my baby was that small?"

Hudson is going to be 5 months on the 9th. It just doesnt seem possible. When people see us out and about, so many say, "hold on to this. It is over before you know it". And I actually like hearing those words because it is a reminder to me. Dont get so frustrated, dont wish that teething will hurry up and be over. Because one day, it will be me in the stands cheering on a ten year old Hudson. What will life be like in ten years? How many more kids will we have added on to our family? Life really is short and fast. we are here for such a small amount of time. I hope that in the next ten years I can teach Hudson to be a kind and encouraging person. I hope he is genuinely happy and proud of himself. I never knew going to a little league game could make me think all of this. At the end of the day, I just hold Hudson tight and hope that he lives out all of his dreams.

And Kendall, thank you so much for the basket idea! I have some great thoughts toward his Easter basket!

Have a great Sunday, everyone.

Love, J and H .
