Finally...some rain!

What a week we have had here at the beach! Andrew's baseball team had their tournament on Thursday, Monday and Tuesday. My mom, dad, Chris and Caroline came to the Thursday game which the Blue Jays won and afterwards we went and had pizza. This is a picture of Aunt Chris, Caroline, Grammy, and Bryanna. We had a real good time and I know Andrew appreciated their support! Andrew had practice on Saturday and Sunday and we also had to get Bryanna over to Coastal Carolina University to start orchestra camp. It has been very hot here and moving Bryanna into her dorm was not fun in the heat but it did not take long. The game on Monday night was pretty close for a while but the Blue Jays came through and won again. On Tuesday, I had to take off work early in order to get Andrew to the field on time and this game was close but not as close as Monday's game. The other team had a first baseman that looked to be about 16 years old. The Blue Jays won and were crowned City of Myrtle Beach Champions for the 10 and Under age group. Andrew got a real nice medal. The coaches made a real team out of these little boys even though I did not really think so at the start. These boys cheered for each other, encouraged each other and were rewarded for their efforts. Here is a picture of the team:



Here is a picture of Andrew with Coach Bill and Coach Brent:

So now Andrew is with my parents in South Bend, Indiana. He is going to attend Notre Dame's baseball camp. He has always wanted to go to Notre Dame and he is a big fan of the movie "Rudy" He was also looking forward to seeing all of his cousins and aunts and uncles.


We went to Bryanna's concert on Friday night and then another concert on Saturday and camp was over on Saturday so she came home with 30 pounds of dirty laundry. Here are a couple of pictures of the Friday night concert:


One of these days I will learn how to post pictures better. The one on the left is the half of the orchestra and Ms. Auman is their instructor.




OH and we cannot forget the BIG event of the week!!! Our baby turned a year old on June 9th. Our little sweet Chewy eating his frosty paw:











So, I hope everyone had a Happy Father's Day! We made Bill a nice breakfast today and just left him alone, our present to him! He watched the race and his driver won (Jr. #88) and then he watched golf and now he is watching some basketball game, I think it is championship game and the Boston Celtics are in it. We also picked up Bill's parents from the airport and took his mom and dad to Cracker Barrell for dinner. That is where they wanted to go! It was good but a little loud in the restaurant.

We have a slower week this week. Bryanna starts her job as Jr. Counselor tomorrow but will only work this week as she is leaving for Boston on the 21st to spend a week with her mother.

This is it for now. Hope you all have a great week!

Happy Father's Day, Bill! Also, Happy Birthday, Chewy!! It's nice to know that we aren't the only ones that purchase a Frosty Paw and celebrate the dogs birthdays!
