Quick Update!

The family is home. (That noise you hear is great rejoicing!!) They got home a few minutes after I did this evening from work. Long trip - Lubbock to Vernon to College Station to Montgomery to CS to Waco to Vernon to Lubbock. They need a break!

I am extremely glad they are home and thankful for God's mercies on their travels.

Tonight we had a ballgame. (As if enough had not already transpired today!!) I had taken the camera to get some "action shots," but ended up the dugout coach (read: Master Sargent who keeps the kids sitting down in their right spot and somehow up to bat in the right order - which I messed up on tonight!) so I was having to take shots from just inside the dugout and only of Luke batting.

On the at bat pictured below, I was shooting, but watching him "live" instead of looking through the LCD. On this pitch, the coach threw the ball and his eyes suddenly got real big. It was so visible that he had locked in on the pitch and was ready to smack it. And he did!! I was proud of him and enjoyed watching the light come on! I was also glad I managed to capture it on film (silicon chip??)

Forgot this one...

Just a quick update of a couple of pictures from Luke's game.

I didn't do it this time!

Monday night at Luke's practice, the largest boy on the team hit a rocket which bounced on a clump of grass (I hate playing on fields with splotchy grass!) and one-hopped right into Luke's eye. When I heard him start crying, I got nervous, but then he had that cry that also has a "I'm hurt and mad about it" component and I knew he would be OK.

The highlight, however, was us talking about it on the way home and me saying: "You know what this means, don't you?" and him replying: "Your going to take a picture and blog about it, aren't you?" I love this boy!

Here's the result...
