G had a good game but they lost, so G&I headed over to watch D's game and watch him get soaked. Even wet they won! Home, hitting the Pettit's garage sale on the way where J picked up a pogo stick. He bounced all over the place in no time. I have no idea how he does it. D ran L's phone to the store in Creekside that fixes screens and 30 min later her phone was back in action.

D had a great game with a single and a huge double. Gma&paW were down to watch. G's game was a bit controversial at times with some calls we didn't know how to make, but we won that one too. This means more baseball on Saturday along with painting and a campout... Home after the games and Gma&paW brought pizza for dinner. We had a nice dinner and they headed home.

20131001 + 19 Year & Counting
20131001 + Up and to work for a day of meetings. Home and D there and then out to a friend's house. L home from dropping J&G off and we ran out to get a bite to eat at Olive Garden for our bronze anniversary. We ate a sub par meal and tried to rack our sub par old minds to recall the events from 19 years ago. We didn't remember a lot of the small details, but the great good stuff we do remember. What a great day it was, and she is still a flower of beauty. To my dismay, we stopped to pick up the boys on the way home and the quiet night was OVER... Home with the wonderful family we have built...Other news: G cried because he didn't get enough play time, J had a good parent teacher conference and D got his braces tightened.
