Slow Pitch Softball and VBS!

Greg and I are continuing our season playing slow pitch softball. It is a good thing we are having fun doing it, because I don't think our team has won a game yet! I pulled a muscle in my leg during a double-header Sunday and I wasn't sure how I was going to be moving the next day, but I am recuperating fine! It is terrible to get older!! :)

The kids and I are doing vacation bible school this week at our church! We are having a blast! The theme is Hawaiian and so we are having a lot of fun dressing as if we are headed to a luau!

It is only a couple of weeks until school starts! This is the first year that all the Farrell kids will be in school for all day! That is definitely going to be different for me at the daycare! I don't know what I will do without Marshall to argue with! He is looking very forward to going to kindergarten and Morgan is looking forward to fifth grade. Maggie says she is not ready for school to start, but I know that she will be excited to see her friends when the time comes!

Well...that is all for now! I will post more later!

Summer!

This has been a busy summer for our family. All three kids played baseball: Morgan on a 9-10 kid pitch team; Maggie on a machine pitch team; and Marshall on a tee ball team. Morgan's team finished out the season 6-2-2, but wound up getting fourth in the end of season tournament. Maggie's team lost all of their games :( however, she thinks they won them (after a 6-0 loss, she told someone they had won by one run!). Marshall's team did well for a tee ball team and Marshall slid across home plate every opportunity he could get! Ball season was very fun, but it had us going 3-5 nights a week for about 6 weeks! WHEW....we breathed a sigh of relief when it was over!

About the time baseball ended, Morgan's summer basketball began. His team wound up with a 3-3 record, which isn't too bad considering his team consists of 2-2nd graders, 3-4th graders, and 4-5th graders and they were playing 5th and 6th graders!

Greg and I began playing on a slow pitch softball team last week and we are having a lot of fun with that. We have other married couple friends and are enjoying spending that time together with them as well as having the kids tag along! Lots of fun for the whole family.

School is just a month away and I'm not sure the kids are ready to return yet. However, I know I am ready to get back to the school routine! I will post more later!
