Here to There

Life just keeps a going. Jeff made it to Arizona safe and sound. He won't be home till Friday night or Saturday. In the meantime, things at our house continue at the same pace.

I made it through the split shifts at work Monday early morning and then the night shift. Both were fine and Hailey is doing better. She can sure get around and is getting into lots of things. It is fun and tiring at times to keep up with her. In between shifts Sarah and I watched Matthew's baseball game. They won by one run. It sure was a close one. I also spent a lot of time on the phone with our new prescription plan, trying to get things in order. Still not sure everything is in it's right place. Guess I will be on the phone again today.

Yesterday I slept and then made some cupcakes for Mary's orchestra banquet. Soon as they were frosted we were back at the ball park for a double header. Matt pitched the first game and played second base for the 2nd game. He pitches well, unfortunately the batters hit the ball and then our fielder's struggle to make the out. I saw Matt make some good plays in the second game before I left for the banquet.


The banquet ended up being a disappointment for Mary. She had hoped to be elected president of the orchestra for next year, but lost by just a few votes to a kid that probably won't work too hard at the job. Mary will share VP position with another girl as they had the same number of votes. We all enjoyed a dessert feast portion of the program.


Well, today I should catch up on laundry, insurance issues, choir and grocery shopping. I think a nap sounds good too. Still making up for that night shift. Sarah wants to apply for some jobs and work at cleaning her room. She misses Hope College a lot.

That is all...Have a great day!
