Know who I hung out with this afternoon?

My dad!  He got here just after the boys got home from school, and it was so great to see him!  I haven't seen him in a few months, since right around Christmas/New Years, but the boys hadn't seen him since Thanksgiving, so it was long overdue.  This is his first trip back to Dallas since he moved in 2011, and I hope he makes it happen a little more often.  I love going to Houston to visit him, but I love having him here, too.

Today, since I didn't have class for the 4th week in a row, I went to school to get my last book for my online class that started last week.  I was in and out in less than 10 minutes, which is pretty much exactly what I wanted/needed.  I came home, did a couple of loads of laundry, and finished cleaning up for my dad's arrival. 

Both of the boys had practice/uniform pick-up tonight, so we headed to Wagon Wheel.  The boys played catch while my dad and I acted as back-ups.  When B's assistant coach showed up, N headed to the batting cages.  My dad and I ended up following N, and that's when I got put on uniform duty.  To their credit, every single boy showed up to get their uniform...and most of them stuck around to hit a bucket of balls and throw a few back and forth.  N put on his catchers gear and a few of the boys practiced pitching to him.  He's really excited to catch tomorrow.

Tomorrow: B has a parade at the same time as game one of N's double header.  I'll be at N's game, then head over to B's game at 11:30.  Tonight, B's stepmom said, "Oh wow, you are officially a baseball mom."  Um, yeah.  I know.  Where have you been?

On the way home, Justin called to see if N wanted to go to dinner with him, and N agreed, but only if he could shower first.  My dad and I also decided to go grab dinner somewhere, so the four of us ended up going to eat together.  It was fun to hang out, and I'm glad Justin and I get along so well...for the most part.  I vocalized that, and he looked at me like I was crazy!  We really are friends.  It's weird, but true.

Now, it's 10:26, OU still sucks, and I'm exhausted.

Tomorrow will be a morning full of baseball, followed by an afternoon of looking at a potential place to live...all with my dad by my side!

I'm super excited!
