Mother's Day with Darin's Mom

This is this past Mother's Day....May 2007

All baseball season long Malachi seemed to always have a baseball bat in his hands.
Darin, his Dad (Carl) and the kids always go out for a game of baseball in the yard. It's funny to see Carl move. He will try to chase the kids down to get them out. This is a man that used to never come outside and play with the kids when Darin and I started having babies. He's come outside and watch the kids look for eggs....but before you knew it....he was back inside watching the game. I got him out of that habit quick. Whenever I would come over with the kids....I would place them in his lab, if they asked for something I'd tell them to ask Grandpa to get it, when they wanted to play I'd tell them to ask Grandpa to play with them. And before you knew....he'd be outside, sitting in the dirt, playing cars with them. It didn't take long to get him wiped into shape. :)
In this same spot that Malachi stands at...is were Darin, his brothers and friends used to play baseball almost every day when Darin was little. The home plate that Malachi is standing on has probably been there 35 to 40 years. It's amazing to see this generation playing in the same spot that their Dad played when he was their age.
