Field trip, softball game and visit to the vet...

Wow! What a busy day for us!! Leslea had a field trip to Grand Rapids with the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders today and she seemed to have a blast. When we picked her up from school to head to Courtney's softball game, she talked non-stop about her day. We are glad that she had a good time. They went to some museums, ate lunch by the river and just had fun on the bus ride to and from. Court had her first softball game and I am happy to announce that they won 13 to 4, but due to the mercy rule, they logged it as 10 to 4, but that is ok! They still won. Courtney finished out the game with 3 good outs. It was her first time pitching in almost 2 years, so we are so proud of her. I do believe that I was way more nervous than she was. Pitching is a lot of responsibility(sp?) and I do not know why she wants to put herself in that position, but she always does well. I just think that it would be hard because the pitcher, in most cases, either wins the game for you or loses the game for you. I would not want that on my plate, but she enjoys pitching and I support her. Her Daddy is so proud to see her on that mound. Nothing but a smile can be seen from him and he has worked pretty hard with her to get her where she is, so we have to give him some credit too:-) And then ol' Ellie girl had her visit to her new vet today and she did really good. Of course she was a big hit and everyone thought that she was a cutie. She did get a shot and some wormer, so she is not 100% this evening, but I am sure that she will be back to her sassy self tomorrow. She is growing way too fast. I almost forgot just how quick they grow. She is already 9 weeks old and weighs in at whopping 12.30lbs. We go back in 3 weeks, so it will be neat to see how much more she has grown in such a short amount of time. Well hope all is well with all of you! Until tomorrow when we post on game 2....
