Read me a story

We went to Kristin & Dan's Sunday for our monthly dinner. After dessert James went and relaxed on the recliner. Carly climbed in the chair with him and it wasn't long before Nicolas joined them. Of course they wanted him to read them a book which he happily did - several times.

Lights

Over the weekend we installed 2 new lights on the garage and changed the light on the front of the house. Our driveway is now fully lit at night.

More softball

Katlyn started her last game and we finally have some pictures of her batting. She only was up to the plate once and was walked. Her team won the game 6-5.

Unfortunately we don't have too many pictures of Katlyn playing. The first few games of the season she played quite a bit. But that didn't last long. Now if they put her in it is for the last inning to inning and a half. And she usually is only up to bat once if that. This was one of the rare days that she played and we had the camera on us.

The JV team started the year off with 3 wins in a row - in fact they mercied the other teams. Then it went downhill from there. They have 1 game left which is tomorrow (5/23) and they have only won 2 games in their district. But Katlyn isn't done with softball when the high school season is over. She then goes straight into the summer league. Hopefully we will have more pictures of her playing then.

The pitcher was struggling and getting frustrated so they called a time out and had an infield huddle to settle her down.

Tyler and Baseball 1

We are so glad we got the digital camera. We just love the great close ups we get of their facial expressions.

Just what every ball player needs in order to play a great ball game - sunflower seeds.

Team meeting after the hard fought 1-0 win. And of course they all are listening to every word patiently waiting for their treat tickets to the concession stand.

The Marlins record is 6-3 and they have 9 games left.

Dave figured he would try a few black and white images. I told him I like those kind because you can't see all the gray hairs. This is the only good picture he has of Tyler in the outfield.

Look closely at his mouth - click on it to enlarge the picture if necessary. He takes after his sister.

"Was that the ball?"

"I'm going to hit it this time - I hope."
