Spring Girls Softball

By -
Spring softball season has finished for Devyn's freshman women's team. I really liked her photo from this year, so thought I'd pass it along. The team's record was pretty good, something like 19-6, sometimes against JV teams from smaller schools. Devyn did quite well, you could see improvement throughout the season. Her very best play was the game-winning out in the last game of the season. Playing center field, she ran in, made a diving effort for a fly ball, caught it, fell down, rolled over and came up smiling, the ball held high in the glove. It looked like something you would see in the highlight reels on Baseball Tonight.

Devyn would want me to point out that their ending record was 23-5, with all but one of those losses coming at the hands of two VERY good JV teams.
They also won both tournaments they entered, running up a 6-0 record in the process.
Yeah, I know...but I'm her dad, I have to brag just a little :-)

Sophia's Surgical Narrative

By Chris Turner -
A camera and microphone are installed on all modern Macintoshes, along with an application called PhotoBooth , which allows users to take photos of themselves, along with movies. Thursday after Sophia's surgery, Seamus was upstairs playing Mario Kart on the Wii , and from the back room, curiously, I could hear Sophie discussing the previous day's procedure and figured it was via PhotoBooth. Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.

On to the story of Izzy

By Chris Turner -
For the past couple of weeks we had been finally considering another dog, Otis having passed in June. Evenings found us as an easily-lampoonable suburban yuppie couple, each of us window shopping on our respective laptops on the couch. On our Sunday bicycle ride we earnestly began discussing the characteristics that we wanted: mature dogs, no puppies; a rescue from a shelter, not something for which we had to pay. But Tiffani spotted Izzy on CraigsList and all that criteria gladly went out the window. Contact with the owner was made, and we drove ourselves to Belding yesterday afternoon with the kids to see if the dog and our family would be a good, two-way fit. The owner was forced to get rid of her due to a breakup and she was sad to see her go. She's a Catahoula Leopard , of which we'd never heard , and the breed seems to have a colorful, if not completely fantastical story. The kids all played with her and Cori walked her, so Izzy slept well in a crate overnight, I hard
