Katie Running Bases

After the game (which the Hillcats won, I had forgotten to mention) the kids got to go run the bases.

Here's Katie, looking a bit like a Pink Flamingo. Laura stayed behind to catch her sister on film.

Lynchburg Hillcats

Becky stayed home from the minor league game so she could train horses. I stayed with her and got a little, but not nearly as much as I should have, done around the house.
Laura took pictures and videos of the night's festivities for us.
Katie's favorite part of minor league games is South Paw, the mascot.
I am mascot phobic, so it's good that I had to stay home.

Hotel Rendevouz

Here is a photo montage of our meeting last week in Orange.
Dan got a job teaching flying up at our old neighborhood, so no more living in Africa most of the month for him. Now we have a new dilemma, living in Leesburg most of the month for him, while the females of the family live down here.
Free hotel rooms are a perk from Dan's years of living in hotels. We meet about once a week to enjoy the hotel pool, oops, I mean Daddy's company.

What Daddy's Missing

Here's Becky's famous shepherd's pie.
Daddy, we wish you could enjoy every dinner with us.

Becky's Housing Development

Becky's been nailing Folger's cans with doorways cut into them on trees in our woods, and all sorts of birds have moved in.
Next, she nailed two styrofoam plates to the top of the fence post. Danny and I laughed when after the squall line tore the fascia off our house, her bird house stood, unscathed.
Now we see that a young bluebird couple has moved in to start a family.
We think she needs to go into architecture.

Bucket O' Babies

Merope's twin daughters were asleep in this bucket, so Becky ran for the camera and captured them for you.
They're even cuter in real life.
