Yeah, that is what I was thinking as I was sitting here noticing that there have been over 300 'looks' of the blog in the last week. It's amazing that it is looked at that many times, but the numbers don't lie!
Things going ok here. Adina just about went nuts today because it rained all day and they were all couped up in the house. Does this mean she is in for it when we move to the rainy pacific northwest? I think we will have a house that has a little more room with a lot less echo. Shouldn't be a problem.
The kids have baseball games again tomorrow. Weather should be good. Adina has softball practice in the afternoon for two hours. The MWR here really does a good job at getting the women out there to have sporting fun also, so it isn't all the guys all the time. They are going to be playing some softball games in the coming weeks I believe, so they are going to go out and practice up for it since there are likely some of them that haven't played much. I may go out there and try to teach some basics as well. The other day before my softball games, I was pitching to Adina on the turf football field and one of the doc's (physician) on my team apparently drove by. At the game he asked me who that girl was that I was pitching to. I told him it was my hot girlfriend, you know, my wife. I think he was wondering, he had that look in his eye. I wanted to punch him and say, "didn't you see all my kids out there shagging the balls?!" Oh well, I guess that is a complement for Adina if she is still turning heads. She still turns mine....
Well enough of that, you guys don't want to be bothered by that stuff.
Happy Mother's Day ( wanted to be the first to say it, even though I am a day early) to all you mother's, and soon-to-be mother's. I think you are all really special ladies. Each and every one of you put up with a lot of crap from the Stinchfield boys...yes and I am talking to you ex-(or soon-to-be-ex) Stinchfield girls as well. We boys dish it out and you all still put up with us. My hat is off to you, your all such good sports and you all raise wonderful children. Mom, you especially are the best. I think of all those times dad abandoned you...uh, I mean was out providing for the family in the Pacific. And, to do it with 7 kids, one of whom was a handful, yes I am talking about you Tom...your vacuum dreams were out of control man. You saved our tails countless times, at least I know you did mine. Except for that time (and I just found this one out on our last visit) that you authorized the hack to the upper thigh...hmm, I'll have to rethink that one. No really, many fond memories and laughter. Nothing brought me more joy and continues to do so than seeing you laugh. Keep it up. I hope all of your husbands take good care of you not only on this day, but every day. I love you all.
