Soon I will post some pictures and stories, but for now there are a few more videos that help illustrate our weekend fun.
First, baseball. He keeps telling us we need to “find his team”. He reminds us that he has a soccer team, and a swim team – but we need to find his baseball team. It does appear to be time…
My favorite part of this next one is how Daddy asks him if he’s getting tired, and reminds him to swing… then look what happens:
And daddy ended up with a pretty good welt:
Please excuse my cackling in the previous two videos, and pretty much every single video I film. Apparently, I cackle.
Also, Brendan has lots of trucks. We were playing with them out in the backyard, and he decided to line them up and count them. Turns out there were more than I thought:
We also bagged the goodwill run (see boxes as evidence) in favor of a car obstacle course. We did this for a LONG time with many different configurations – I’m glad Daddy captured part of the fun:
There is something else that Daddy did for me to celebrate 10 years of health. Ironically, he worked so hard on this while he was sick that he ended up with pneumonia… (he’s finally getting better, thank goodness!). Rob secretly collected videos from many of our friends and family and gave them to me on my anniversary. It was an absolutely beautiful and overwhelming gift of love from him, and so many people. I’m never comfortable with attention being thrown my way, but Rob found a way make it work. He gave me a gift I will always treasure – little presents that I can open any time I need a dose of love and happy. The outtakes were particularly amazing. There were so many videos, that he created a ‘trailer’:
When we first watched this together as a family, it ended and Brendan said, “Let’s watch it again!” That’s exactly how I felt. I’m a very lucky girl, for so many reasons.
I just watched this for the first time. Pass the tissues. Love you Lori. Sandy
