One year ago today we adopted our dog, Daphne. She is a rescued Boxer that was being fostered by a family that couldn’t keep her any longer. Despite her desire to lick us every time we come home and lick every person she meets, we love her and wouldn’t trade her for the world. 🙂
We’ve had an interesting week with two unique events going on in the area. In between baseball and soccer practices and games, we’ve seen Tall Ships and Dinosaurs.
Last weekend the Tall Ships were in town. Since they were docked outside my back door at work, I couldn’t help but snap a few pictures. There was light fog in the morning before the first day of tours began. People were lined up early for their chance to view and board the ships.
The Tall Ships departed earlier this week only to be replaced by the Dinosaurs. The four of us went to see the show last night. We were not disappointed. Instead of lugging my big camera with, I brought the old Panasonic camera with to capture a few pictures. It did surprisingly well. These are our favorites from the evening.
We probably won’t have anything quite as interesting to post about next week, although Sean’s 40th birthday party is only 7 days away. 🙂
Sebastian’s team finished a very respectable 2nd place in the Little League Minors division last night. They had a great season and it was fun to see the improvement in their batting and fielding throughout the season. In the final inning of last night’s game, Sebastian had an awesome hit into the outfield. We thought he would certainly make it to second base, but his ball was caught by the son of one our best friends who plays on the opposing team. Although the kids were disappointed to not finish first, they did have some exciting games during playoffs including one that went into extra innings. Sebastian knocked in the winning run for that game! We really enjoyed the season are sad to see the end of Little League baseball for the year. There is actually have one more weekend of baseball next week when Sebastian’s All-Star team competes in a local tournament. Rumor has it that games begin at 8am on Friday and run all weekend. We can all hardly wait. 🙂
Here’s our little superstar.
