Puppy Love

 Our next door neighbor's Golden Doodles just had puppies and the Grands are in love!

Braylee and Petite Players

 Braylee was a "helper" with the Petite Players for a week and they did a production of the Wizard of Oz.

World Series Games - PCB

 Pax and the 8U Peach Clobbers recently played in the World Series games in Panama City Beach, FL.  They didn't win but had a great experience playing boys from other states.

Pax had a stomach virus that week and could not play ball for a couple of days.

Date Night for Papa and Anabelle

 Papa wanted to take our Sugarbelle on a special date night so he drove his corvette to Tallahassee and picked her up for dinner and an ice cream treat.  Anabelle chose El Jalisco for dinner and Sweet Frog for ice cream.  What a great treat it was for both!

Mary Aaron and John Fun!

 The Wagner are soaking up the Indy rays while visiting!  Lots of fun days!

Happy July 4th!

 We didn't get to celebrate the 4th with any of our children today, but we went to the Golden Eagle fireworks with The Dempsey's last night in Tallahassee.  The Wagner Family is still in Columbus, Indiana, and The Anderson's are celebrating with some of their baseball friends, so Dad and I are spending a quiet, hard-working day to ourselves.  Palmer and Pax have spent the last couple of nights with us (YAY) but Palmer went with Pax to their friend's July 4th celebration this afternoon/evening.

Dad and I have been working all day outside and getting a few things done while he is feeling a little stronger.  With chemo, he has one feeling tired week (after chemo) and then two pretty good weeks and then start the cycle again, so we get what we can done while we can!

We are putting up string lights around the pool area so Adam helped Dad today putting in the 6x6, 12ft. post and putting concrete around the posts (you rescued us).

We, also, tore down the playset today:(.  It has seen its' day, but it has served its' purpose, but the grands have outgrown that small set.  We are going to building a swingset only now, because even as an adult, I like to swing!  Never too old to swing!

CHAMPIONS!

 Anabelle and her team, the Lions, WON the championship softball game.  Belle is 11 years old.  Sugarbelle played outfield, second base, catcher and pitcher.  She is so versatile and can play any position, therefore, she was given the "Coaches Award" and well deserved!
