We've had a lot of baseball games around here lately. We finished the district tournament this week after playing seven games over a six day period (we were actually at the ballpark all six days, but we had a rain out). My Favorite Boy's team finished second, and we were so proud of them. The boys were very disappointed with second place because they lost in the championship game to a team they had beaten 11-1 earlier in the tournament. It was a tough pill for them to swallow, but that's they way life goes sometimes! They played so well: they only allowed 24 runs over seven games, which was by far the best defensive record of all the teams. My Favorite Boy was quite the slugger during the tournament, and we hope he will keep his bat going as we start the state tournament tonight.

At the end of the tournament, we were all completely exhausted. We are the family who is always in bed by a certain time, and we had several very late nights. After the championship game, my Best Girl dissolved into tears when she realized she wouldn't get a medal like her brother (she does like bling, you know). Daddy saved the day by bringing her flowers, which are now sitting in her room. He knows how to make his girl happy!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth of July weekend. We will be spending it at a ballpark about an hour away from home (thankfully, the state tournament is relatively close). Go STARS!
