20111013 + Jacks Big Run

20111013 + Today started off as an ordinary day, except the boys were all home from school; But it wouldn't end ordinary...

Boys are home from school today, I am not sure exactly why...  They were upstairs playing and watching movies while I worked.  I did take a break for lunch and we ran to the bank where they reluctantly deposited some cash.  Then on to Panda Express and had a nice lunch together.  We stopped at Meijer on the way home so they could blow the rest of their hard earned money on toys they certainly didn't need and I this D didn't even want one...  Back home and I worked some more, L home a bit later than usual, CPR class at school...
All home, I finished working and we all had dinner.  L stayed home with G, still not feeling well and I took D&J to J's tournament game.  It was a great game.  Tied since the 4th inning...  now it is the bottom of the 8th (these games are usually only 6 innings).  Jacks up to bat, he has not been hitting a lot and the boy before him just struck out. D had worked with him right before this inning and by the grace of God he hit his first pitch and ran to first base, SAFE!  Now we are at the top of the line up...
The next guy strikes out...
       The next guy gets up...

After the celbration died down we headed home, picking up a late night snack at Subway.  Home and told the story to a weepy mother and brother.  Boys cleaned up and off to bed.
That a boy Jack!  :-)
