Sammy Has A Fan Club

We had a lot of fun with our cousins the past 2 days. They got the grand Greenville tour with new and exciting information that Mary had in her head. Katherine went to VBS and Logan worked as a helper with Matthew's group, a bunch of kindergarteners. We grilled, had ice cream and played Wii games and Scene It. Sammy was treated like royalty. He got so much love from everyone.

Both evenings there were some ball games going on. Monday our church team won 17-8. We seem to start out a little shaky, but then pull it together and put on the heat with good hitting and fielding. I even gave away a game ball. Our right fielder made some awesome catches in defense and made a great slide to be safe at 2nd. Sarah had a great game too. She could have gotten a game ball too, but we only had one and she is my co-coach, so I thought it would cause a conflict of interest. Anyway she pitched the whole game and caught 3 line drives to the pitcher. She was just awesome. You can tell she is passionate about ball! Last night Sarah umpired a rec game and most of us saw the last part of the game. Fatime and I went to pick Mary up from her Segment II driving class.

Driving class. Matthew is done with segment one and has his level I license. He has been driving around town and doing a good job. He can't take segment 2 for six months. Mary is now eligible to take the road test. She wants to practice some parallel parking and backing up parking before scheduling the test. Jeff will have to go with her because he can stay quiet during the test unlike her mother. Mary is anxious to get her license so she drive out to her friends and not have to ask for rides anymore.

I will be playing for a wedding next week. So I need to be practicing some music daily so the wedding won't be remembered with bad music. Mary is going to play some cello with me I think.
Some disappointing news comes from our Prius. We got it home and drove around that night and we still experienced some minor electrical issues. The good news is that they are fixing it and even gave us a loaner to drive while it is getting fixed up. I can't wait to get it back. I have almost forgotten that we have a 3rd car.

Just for some closure, church went well as did the chapel for the Assisted Living center. We also enjoyed the choir party. We had good food and fellowship, a pontoon ride, paddle boat rides, volleyball and a fun game where you throw golf balls on ropes at a ladder. Sounds wierd but it is fun!
I am working early tomorrow for 3 hours and then 11 hours on Friday and 6 on Saturday evening. Have to pay for college, cars and show choir!

That is all. Have a great day!
