T-ball week 2. This week was a bit better, but it was still like turtles herding cats. I think most of the parents have just decided to takeover a bit and help all over the place.

Don’t know about you, but this is one of the most perfect statements I have ever heard!!!
Team sports have officially begun. Last night was our first night of Tball. Much of it was instruction (how to run bases, how to hit a ball on a tee, how to throw/catch) … honestly very annoying for me after I have had our boys swinging bats and throwing balls since shortly after walking.
But, the boys had fun, fun, fun.

“In a recent interview with Kristen from E!, Cynthia Watros accidentally called her character Annie instead of Libby.”Accident or slip-up? Hmm?
Is she going to turn out to be Ben’s Annie? Could be a slip-up, could be an accident … we’ll have to wait another 7 months to find anything out.
Thanks, Jonathan! OUCH!!!
I know this year seems to be the year of the comic book movie, but Batman (The Dark Knight) stands out as something very top-notch. From what I have seen and heard so far, Heath Ledger pulled off an unbelievable amazing performance. I can’t wait to view the entire flick.
Well this was the day that our choir was singing God Bless America on the field before the Cardinals/Cubs game … we ended up running late and missed being a part of it. As soon as we were in the gate the boys had to go to the bathroom, so we made a stop. Just as we were walking in the restroom area I hear, “please welcome First Baptist Church of O’Fallon, Missouri as they sing God Bless America.” so, as Taylor and I were relieving inner pressure, we were serenaded by the choir we were supposed to be a part of.
Our seats were on the VERY TOP ROW in right field. First thought it was going to be horrible, but once we got there, the view was great, there was no one (or nothing actually) behind us, we were in the shade all day and there was a nice breeze blowing off the Mississippi River right on us - very enjoyable. Our only complaint about those seats were that from there you can’t see much of what’s happening in right or right center and you can only see about the top 1/16 of the video/scoreboard.
we had fun. boys had fun, and hey … CARDS BEAT CUBS!!! that always makes for a good day.
well, i sort of slacked last week on updating during camp, but to my defense we were in remote parts of the Mark Twain National Forest in the middle of Missouri where there was little to no internet or phone connections … so …
it was a great time. Forest Hill Community Church (memphis) and First Baptist (arnold, mo) combined for camp together. I didn’t start out the week so hot. we were supposed to leave monday morning a little before noon … i woke up at 5:30 puking and Craig (drummer) woke up with the beginning of a bronchial infection. but we made it through and had a great week - if we only had an electric player we would have rocked the walls. i had never played with Craig and Phil (bass) before, and both are amazing!
here’s a shot from one of the nights:
We head out today for a week of camp where we’ll be leading worship for students and leaders in the middle of the sticks of Missouri.
This is a dual church camp:
- Forest Hills Community Church (Memphis)
- First Baptist Church (Arnold, MO)
Looking forward to it. I’ve got Craig Rigney flying in from Texas to bang the beats, and Phil from FBC Arnold on the bass with me on guitar(s). Should be a good time.
Not sure yet if there’s any internet access, so photos may be few and far between.
