I love, love, LOVE this photo of Mark and his mini-me.  We’ve got many great memories as a family that involve softball or baseball games, some of my favorite being those times we spent at Miller Park Stadium. I don’t remember the first time we went there together, but I definitely remember the last: all 5 of us at an evening game late this summer, sitting in the bleachers in right field. It was way past all the kids’ bedtime and Cecilia was particularly fussy. Mark knew how much Cooper enjoys watching the game, so he took Cece up in the concourse for a good 45 minutes and just walked around with her so that Cooper, Lucia and I could enjoy a little more of the game. The art of patience. Mark definitely taught me a lot about that.

Thanks, Allison Porter for capturing this beautiful moment.
