I just got everyone into bed (it's around 10 p.m.) after a day that started at 8 a.m. this morning and didn't stop. Whew. I'm about ready to snuggle up in my own bed with a cup of tea, my book (I'm reading the new J.D. Robb and it's great) and Midnight, maybe Marlon too! :), but thought I'd do a quick update entry before I do that. I'm finding that after everyone is in bed and the house is quiet is the best time for it. So, here's a quick recap of our day:
Baseball:
Harrison had a baseball game this morning and they won 5 to 3. He is in the National League of Pony baseball, which is a higher level of play than the regular American League and his games -- and his coach! -- are intense. Our "jobs" for the season are that we are announcer (annoucing the batters, the score, etc.) and the ones who update the automated score board after each pitch, etc. Last Thurs I had to do both myself, but today we all went to the game, so Marlon announced and I kept the scoreboard remote. Harrison played well and played 3 innings as Catcher and 3 innings in the outfield. Although is coach praises the boys when they do well, which I like, he is extremely intense out there and does not hesitate to bluntly tell the boys what they are doing wrong. You definitely can't be sensitive on his team! He's a great coach, though, and Harrison is learning a lot from him.
Softball:
Michela had a game this afternoon. I didn't go because of Jacob's dance competition, but Marlon and Harrison were there. She played well and they also won, something like 13 to 5. She enjoyed it very much.
Dance:
Jacob had a dance competition in Long Beach that lasted all afternoon into the evening. Only two of his competition numbers competed in this particular competition. They took "High Gold" (the highest you can get) for one number and Regular Gold for the other. At the last two competitions they placed first overall in their category one time and second the other, but this time they didn't place in the overalls.
We finished off the day by all of us meeting up for pasta at a nearby pasta restaurant!
