We had a fun quick visit from Uncle B this week, stopping by for a quick golf tournament on his way home. Also exciting this week, Henry had his first baseball game. Unfortunately, there are no pictures as Dad was busy keeping the dugout organized and getting kids into and out of catching gear (turns…

It was a big week for school activities – Eleanor finished her mission project and took it into class in preparation for her presentation. She also received an achievement award for excellence in math. Henry had a field trip to the Midway museum, and Mom got to go along and chaperone.
