Carson made the River Park All Star team. The first game was Wednesday evening.

It was the bottom of the 5th inning, the score was tied at 11-11, and we were nearing the 2-hour limit when the home team (us) surged ahead and won. Whew!

Congratulations x 2 to Sophia. Last Tuesday, she passed her driving test and in now a licensed driver. Today she and friend Gia organized a charity golf tournament for Along Comes Hope – an organization that provides support to families of cancer patients.

A blessedly cool day at Lank Park Golf Course.

I managed to capture what looks like a magic trick by Carson.

Avery’s team of 7th and 8th graders from St Ignatius came in first!

The final game of the season on Friday.

Through the season, Carson became a pretty good pitcher. One day after school, he told me about his “immaculate inning.”

Saturday afternoon, I dropped everyone off at the airport. They’re on their way to Jeffrey’s graduation from college in San Diego.

The season is coming to an end.

Thais!

Thais and family went to Aptos for the weekend. Justin and I went to an Easter gathering at Jan & Dave’s in Fairfield. Jan and sister Sharon are nieces of Phyllis.

The next generation has taken over family gatherings. Amazingly, Carol (Phyl’s sister) and I are now the oldest in the group.

It was Lenin’s turn this time. We all met at Leatherby’s.

This would be a triple:

This weekend, Sophia had a birthday brunch for her friends.

It was fun to hang out in the background, help out wherever needed and watch Thais rubber-band five little ponies in specific places on Carson’s head.
