In a bit of a funk

You can always tell when I may need to increase the dosage on my happy pills,when there are no blog postings for days on end....I do attribute  some of my lack of writing to Meredith.  Why? you ask.  Well, it is she who got me started reading an extra long, but fascinating book, "The Goldfinch" over the past weekend, cutting into my time sharing family experiences.  I had just completed two books prior to beginning this one, with the intention of reading a little here and there while unable to sleep at night.  Ah well, so much for intentions....I was able to tear myself away from it this afternoon to update you on the past couple of weeks.  Just for the record, the motivation for writing just hasn't been with me lately.  Call it lack of events to share or lack of enthusiasm on my part....
Anyway, I survived TWO rainy, dreary four-day weekends , back to back, and emerged without getting my name in the paper for abusing those who live with me!  Quite an accomplishment!
As the pictures reflect, it's been family stuff that has kept us busy (and kept my sanity).  Corbin played in his first baseball game (looking quite stylish in his new attire) and Gabi in her

first softball game (with hair ties for the team completed on Sunday.  Both kids played catcher during their games.

 

 Little Grayson showed his new skills riding a scooter.  The boys, (Brad, Curt, & Spencer) and Carrie played poker at Sunday dinner while at the other table, the rest of us played "31" where Meredith and  Sophie were the big winners.

 

 Last Friday, I took Corbin to get his new athletic glasses (as seen below) and had the goofy 5 with me!

 Later, after taking them back to Eaton, they did some trampoline jumping and some cousin bonding.

Yep, when the times get a little hard to deal with, these are the people who hold me up!
