Seems I Was Wrong

Leave it to the Rosieks (Tom, Natalie & Ben) to take up the implicit challenge in my earlier post and prove me wrong. This afternoon we battled gale force winds, and constant flurries of snow to plow through three innings of kickball:

Unfortunately, the conditions were not conducive to the usual offensive fireworks when we square off for some playful punting, and the match ended in a weather shortened scoreless draw (though we did last through three innings!). As I thought, a green field really does seem a prerequisite for such a game, not that we didn't have some fun this afternoon.

By the way, the winner of last week's Friday Family Blogging quiz was Lil Sis, who correctly identified the baby on Grampa's knee as Ben Rosiek (yes, the same strapping lad preparing to pummel his papa's pitch in the above photo). Congrats to Lil Sis, and thanks to all those who guessed. I'll try to get another quiz up as soon as possible.
