The Kassel Family Project Life 365

After purging our closet, it was time to purge the kids’ closets. Both have room in their closets again and they are so clean and organized!

John and I went to the pool while Laura hung out at home playing on the computer.

Andy rode down to Cooper’s Landing with JT and enjoyed dinner, drinks, and the sunset. I love Fridays.

My new Thanksgiving centerpiece arrived today. I love it!

This is what I think of pictures, Fake Mom!

They may be over first day of school pictures, but their mom is not. Bring on Sophomore year for Laura,…

…and, Eighth Grade for John!

Laura’s first Scout meeting is completed and she has her official neckerchief.

The tournament this weekend was not the Stars’ finest hour, but it isn’t always about what happens on the field. Sometimes, the baseball family comes together for that one “perfect” night where the pool is open, the boys are just being boys, and the adults are enjoying drinks and conversation. I thought to myself more than once that we are a group because of these boys, but nights like Saturday are because we are family. Like all families, we have our moments and people come and go, but there is always support no matter where you turn.

Time moves fast these days. I swear it was only yesterday that John walked onto a baseball field for the first time at 8 years old. It will not be long before he walks off the field for the last time and these days will only be memories.

So, all I can really say about this tournament is “thank you” to this amazing group of boys for bringing us together. Without you, us adults wouldn’t know just how lucky we are, and you wouldn’t have these memories to look back on 20 years from now.

Baseball family is life. We love it now because it won’t be there forever.
