The boys played in a charity Wiffle Ball tournament Saturday. Suprisingly, they took 2nd place! Not bad for a team with a guy who’d never swung a bat before.

Day 51
Last fall, we got a dog on a whim. It turned out she had what amounts to breast cancer. We’ve known for a while her days were numbered. Now she’s in doggy heaven. Thanks for being a great dog, Hope!
Day 50
