"This moment will change my life forever......" CELEBRATING Noah's determination and a wonky try at a fun quilt I have been seeing on blogs....


The stars were aligned, unfortunately not in this traditional selvage spin-off that is instead almost too wonky for my taste....when we made plans to camp this past weekend.  Little did Sean and I know that Noah's "Life would change forever"......An experimental baby quilt that seemed to fit the theme of this post.....

I continue to recite this line over and over in my mind since Noah proclaimed it to me in a humble whisper at the baseball field 2 days ago.  Noah is 8 and has been signed up for a local little kid baseball league.  This comes after having camped with Rick and Tracey this past weekend and their oldest signing up.  He believes that baseball may be the future for him and is currently living, breathing and sleeping it.  He and Sean played catch for 2 1/2 hours last night and this is just typical of my sweetie.  I have gotten into the action and absolutely LOVE LOVE my pink and black catching mit and hit a few base hits the other night......Today I got the pitching machine.....HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We wore out the pitching machine tonight..... OH GOODNESS! Back it goes with the receipt.....

While baseball has taken over my son's heart and soul, What does this Post title inspire in you?

Oh how we LOVE the great all-american sport - BASEBALL!! At our house we live for spring strictly to play some ball! Briley is the pitcher on her softball team and Brody is the all around star of his team as he's the grand slam hitter! What fun! I can't wait to pull out the lawn chairs and cheer until I lose my voice! Great times!
Your quilt is beautiful - I sure love to see what colors you put together. They are always a delight and make me smile!

The title reminds me of so many moments in my life, moments that I knew were monumental - the start of my solo cross-country motorcycle trip when I was a wee gal of 21, the few moments before my wedding, being wheeled into surgery to have my two c-sections (what good are these wide hips if they won't let the babies down!?! Sheesh!), that fateful phone call when I learned that my father had died...

Yet I find myself really noticing other, less life-changing moments in my life, too - drving with the windows down and the radio volume up, singing at the top of my voice with my boys, laying in bed holding hands with my husband and seeing how the moonlight shimmers on his skin, arriving at my mom's house and hearing the screen door slam shut as she and all her dogs come out to greet me. Life brings me such joy in so many seemingly inconsequential moments.
