When I think of my dad, baseball is one of the things that comes to mind; he loved baseball, and was even asked to play in a minor league when he was young. When taking 4th of July pics of Caitie in a baseball outfit, which I did every year (including this year), I always knew I'd be giving at least one, maybe more, of those pics to my dad.We used the baseball theme last year for my dad's birthday, which is on July 11th. Here are some pics from last July 11th; that birthday stands out in my mind since it will be the last birthday ever spent with him... on this earth, anyway. Here are some pics from his last birthday (some of the pics shown here have been displayed already on the blog, but chose to put them in this post as well)...
Caitie and I made him baseball cupcakes. Here Caitie is putting the cupcake liners into the muffin tin before baking.
Here are a few of the finished baseball cupcakes.

My dad was never one that wanted to pose for pics, I'm not saying he never did, he just wasn't all that into it, so I don't have many good pics of he and Caitie, unfortunately. But here is one from last year. We celebrated his birthday at his place.
Here's my dad as a young baseball player. Handsome, wasn't he. :)
Here's a baseball pic I took of Caitie on this 4th of July. I think she kind of resembles my dad in the above baseball pic. I probably would have given him this pic for that reason. I decided to add it here.
My dad would have been 67 years old today. Miss you, Dad.
