Ethan got third place in baseball

Ethan's team got third place in baseball. They came back in the top of the 7th inning and scored 7 runs so they were ahead by two points. Then in the bottom of the 7th they held them and won the game! He played short stop, left field, and second base. Poor Ethan got beamed by the ball (in the second picture) so he got on first base and ended up steeling second base. Great job, Ethan! Congrats on getting 3rd place.

Beach with Grandma & Grandpa Braham

Today we went to the beach with Grandpa & Grandpa Braham. They are in town for the week and so are Julia & Ethan. The weather was pretty nice today. It was sunny when we got there, but then it got cloudy. We threw the football around and Julia and Ethan had a water fight. It looks like Julia pummeled Ethan. Bella also had fun. It got a little sandy with the wind blowing so much, but we all had a great time.

Julia won the Championship

Julia's team won the championship in softball! They had a game Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They won on Fri and lost on Sat, but since it was double elimination they were still in the running. After losing the game at 3pm on Sat, they started the second game at 6pm, but were only able to play 3 innings because it started lightning. They played the other 4 innings on Sunday and WON! Congrats, Julia! She played third base and short stop and had some great hits.

Father's Day Brunch

We had Father's Day brunch at Richard's Farm. This is the first time in a long time that I was with my Dad for Father's Day. He's the best Dad who always pushed me to be the best that I could be (especially in sports) and it was very nice to be able to spend it with him. Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there, especially to the new Dad-to-be's like my brother John and best friend's husband Scott. You will both be amazing father's!

Dinner at Cody's

I was in Charleston Tues - Sun helping my parents get ready for their move (they bought a one story house in Charleston). It was a lot of work, but we managed to get most of it done and the movers came on Sat. They are all moved in, but now they are trying to get everything unpacked before the baby shower for John and Sue.

The kids went swimming Friday with Craig at Lytle Pool. Then we all went to dinner at Cody's in Mattoon on Friday night.
