Playing catch and catch-up

A few things have happened since I last wrote. Buddy had a Thursday game on the 14th. He smiled pretty (or handsomely) for team pictures, but suffered his first loss of the season. Buddy was the starting pitcher and did not give up any runs or walks during his two innings. Unfortunately, the next pitcher gave up 10 runs, which put them in a very deep hole that they were unable to crawl out of.

We spend some time this evening doing some batting and fielding practice as a family. Buddy pitched and hit some balls. Steve couldn't resist hitting a few of Buddy's pitches out to me, Hodge Podge, in the outfield. I daydreamed about being a star softball player while the "boys" had their practice.

Pretty, pretty princess (Martha) sat and read a book (and let all the foul balls whiz past), while the rest of us played and sweated in the 87 degree weather.

Hodge podge's friend had a hard day without his family. He spent his time sleeping and worrying that we would never return. He was so happy to see us come home and give him a little pat pat.

We had an All-American Father's Day weekend, with All-American Father's Day food and fellowship after church. It was a wonderful day.
