The Kassel Family Project Life 365

John’s baseball team has an unofficial photographer – a grandfather of one of the boys.  Tonight, we were all given one of these.

I love it!  By the way, the boys won both of their games tonight.  Great job, Shockers!

While shopping at Aldi with John a few years ago, I found Apple Jacks with Marshmallows.  He asked if I could buy a box and he has loved them ever since.  The problem I have now is that Aldi is the only place that carries this particular kind of cereal and they only have it a couple of times a year.  Well, yesterday was my lucky day (or John’s), so I bought two boxes.  He is all smiles this morning!  Now, I have to get back there and buy more before it is gone again…

I think spring has FINALLY sprung!  It’s about time!

Our new, low profile microwave hood is in!  I am excited to finally have all stainless steel appliances in the house even if one is not actually installed yet.  I am also looking forward to seeing this in place.  It is roughly one foot tall and is substantially smaller than our old one.

After a tough, first baseball tournament for the Withrow Shockers, John was feeling pretty depressed on the way home this morning.  He laid around in his bed and did not really want to talk to anyone.  That all changed when Andy took him up to CycleX to pick up his new bike.  I think that smile just says it all.

Thanks to John Wilkinson at CycleX for helping to find the perfect bike for our John.  I missed his “new bike day” ride (Daddy got that honor), but these pictures do my heart good.  I love that smile!

John and the Withrow Shockers had their first tournament ever today.  While the results were not what the team wanted as they lost both games, they did play well at times.  If they can learn to finish with solid defense, they are going to be tough to beat.

It is our family as cacti painted by our own Laura K.  I love it!
