Quiet on the Homefront

Very nice to have my husband back home with no airplane adventures this time around. Things are pretty quiet here with us...just the same old schedule. I've been priming myself for Fall Softball, I'm not sure I'm quite ready to tackle that part of my life so soon after the last season. Creston went out and measurement 40 feet between pitching/catching and built his little sister a pitching mound for practice at home. Very sweet of him----this way I won't have to go to the ballfield as much as before. He is going after her with that Wilson stare and taking on the wrath of Kat when she doesn't like being told how to correct her pitch! He spends about 1 hour a day with her catching and coaching. He's been going with us to pitching lessons and now he believes himself to be the expert! I have to hand it to Creston....he's much more patient than I would be. It's been over 100 degrees for days now and I am ready for it to end. I took the kids to the school and got their physicals done for school sports. It only costs $5.00/per kid which is a steal. They did start something new this year, Creston had to pay an extra $25.00 for a drug test. They start testing athelics for drugs at 8th grade level.....he wasn't impressed with the process if you know what I mean!! I tried to tell him to drink lots of water before we went, but Mom doesn't know anything. Our garden was a flop this year. Another strange weather season. We did have lots of summer squash, a little fresh okra, and lots of peppers, but no melons, cuc's or tomatoes. I will have to go to the Farmers Market to get tomatoes for salsa. We miss everyone, I should say....I miss everyone....Jord got to see alot of you last week.
