Fun day. Breakfast at Thais and Lenin’s. Carson holding Tetsuko. All the chickens have “old lady names”. Tetsuko is an old-lady name in Japan.

After breakfast, we went to Ciavarella Park. All the moms were honored before the game began.

Carson hit an inside-the-park home run.

Safe!

With a 6-4 lead in the 6th inning, the Closer came in to finish it off.

This was a win in the championship playoffs. All Stars comes next.

Christian Brothers prom was Saturday evening at the Sheraton downtown. Apparently going to the State Capitol and the surrounding gardens is the thing to do these days to take before-prom pictures. With at least three other high schools having their proms tonight, there were hundreds of well-dressed teens along with family members taking LOTS of pictures.

Jeremiah and Sophia:

at St Michael’s.

The last home game of the season so the 8th graders were honored.

Carson pitched to a good friend from school, Zane.

Wednesday after picking up Carson and Avery from school. Charlie first greets me by jumping on me, maybe taking my forearm in his jaws (he doesn’t bite or hurt me, but I still don’t like it).The boys know Charlie needs something in his mouth before Grandma goes inside the house. Once he settles down, he follows me wherever I go. If I’m at the dining room table, he lies on my feet. If I sit on the couch ..

In the evening, we went to Avery’s volleyball game at SI.

Avery and his sponsor cousin Leo:

A very long mass:

Afterwards, everyone went to Giovanni’s Pizza to celebrate. Except for me, I had to get ready for another event.

Carson:

Avery is doing 3 sports this spring: golf, volleyball, and track and field. His events: long jump, 100m, 200m, and 4x relay.

He came in 1st in the 100m.

I’ve been making steady progress. Time to check where the hem should be. I still need to sew the bustle.

OMG – good news. Sophia asked if we could just leave off the “side part.” Heck yes!
