It all started with wrestling in the family room. All four boys along with their dad, straining, biting down on their lips. They all five do it whenever they are doing something physically taxing, and I’m calling it the Johanik lip squeeze.

Don’t be fooled…behind that mask, are lips squeezed together.

Some other scenes from our baseball season thus far…

Thankfully, Ruthie has a friend to play with at each of her brothers’ games.

Even though he is on his way to earning a driver’s license, Jake still prefers the two-wheel mode of transportation. He often rides to his brothers’ games and practices. On this particular day, Jim joined him.

Handsome baseball boys.
