Cailyn had two softball games in Dickinson
yesterday. No way we could make the
first one. Too close to church
time. So after a quick lunch (warmed up leftover pizza) we headed to
Texas. We also had a passenger with us
this time. Kel and Christina’s dog Leia
had a cousin’s sleepover with Freddy.
She was pretty much ready to go home, I think, although she was just
about to understand the ins and outs of where she could sit on the couch. Freddy made a point to assist in that
teaching. If Leia got too close to
Chris, Freddy would bound in from across the room and snuggle in even
closer. Can’t be too careful with the
position in the pack, I guess.
So we took Leia home first. And as it turned out, Noa wanted to go to the
softball game with us, since it was a girls’ thing and all. We strapped her into the car and she started
talking excitedly. Now I have no idea
what she was saying. Many reasons for
that. For one, she was primarily talking
to Chris (or to herself). Secondly, she was in the back seat, so even
though I could tell she was talking, I couldn’t really distinguish what she was
saying. Thirdly, the Astros game had
just started. But suffice it to say …
she never stopped.
Once we got to the game and Chris managed
to expertly park along the side of the one-lane road leading both in and out of
the park, Noa was taken under the wing of her Uncle Nathan. Well, she was taken to the concession stand
by him. Scary and brave act. She came back with a bottle of Gatorade, a
huge pickle, and something blue in a tiny little cup. I’m not sure what it was, but she devoured
it. She told us on the way home, “I
think Uncle Nathan is my favorite uncle.”
Sorry, Josh.
Oh, the game. Cailyn’s team won easily. Both games, in fact. In the one we saw Cailyn hit in the leadoff
spot. She walked twice and was hit by a
pitch once. She scored all three times. Pretty impressive. Oh … and it was hot. Really hot.
I did keep up with the Astros game as
well. Last game of the regular
season. They finished with a bang. 8-5 for a 20th win for Garrett
Cole. Most wins in franchise
history. Now they wait to see who they
will play in the first round of playoffs.
Speaking of that, I joined Micah and Jachin in filling out a projected
bracket of who might win each playoff series and the World Series. We’ll see who does the best job.
2 Peter 1:3 says, “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life
through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”
Father, thank you for our little excursion
with Noa. It was fun to watch her
idolizing Cailyn through the dugout fence.
Amen.
