baseball

Before updating you all on Emma, a few shout-outs. First off to Josh, who graduated from Northeastern University last Friday. Way to go! Again, sorry Emma and I weren't able to join in the festivities, but it sounds like you all had a nice time. He also narrowly lost his lacrosse game which would have allowed his team to compete in Nationals. Bummer! He did end up being awarded first team All-American in his division for lacrosse, which is pretty awesome! To see a sweet action shot, click on this link. Josh is #28 if you want to scope him out in the other pictures on the photographer's site.

Also a big Yahoo to Sam who made Delphian choir at Great Falls High. This is the highest level choir and, speaking from experience, really fun to be involved in. As a sophomore, it pretty impressive to get chosen. Can't wait to go to some concerts next year!

We've also been able to see Sam play some ball games already this year. Last weekend we traveled to Helena to see him play and the weekend before that we went to Lewistown. I don't know what it is about watching baseball, but I really do enjoy it. Last year for my birthday Nate got us tickets to see the Mariners play and it was awesome! (and also my first pro game) Here's some pictures from Emma playing on the sidelines.

Take me out to the ballgame.

Batter up!.

In Helena there was a nice playground to enjoy which reminded me a lot of the playground we went to in Red Lodge this summer. She's taken quite a liking recently to swings so was a little upset when we had to leave. I also have several relatives that live in Helena and we got to see most of them (nice Meghan and Ryan!) after the game. It's always nice to catch up.

Loving the swings.
