It was a fun day! It started with the MU Homecoming Parade for Laura, which was a new experience for her.
It ended with a solo home run for John as his baseball team won both of their games today.
These two kids make me so proud!
Parade and Baseball
Middle School Night
Tonight was Middle School Night for the eighth grade bands from West Middle School, Jefferson Middle School, and Smithton Middle School at Friday Night Lights.
It was great to see both our kids on the field for the pre-game show.
The middle school bands also got to play pep tunes in the stands.
John said that the experience was a lot of fun. I am not sure that it was enough to convince him to join marching band next year, but he is definitely thinking about it now.
Moles
I hate moles. In the last three weeks, we have spent $316 ($79 each) on mole removal. We also had four that past spring. They are a continuous, constant problem in our yard. I hate them.
Smile!
Laura and John sort of smile for a picture when you threaten to take their phones away…
Prelude at the Pub
Andy and I enjoyed the Mizzou Brass Quintent at Gunter Hans for the “Prelude at the Pub” series. It was a beautiful night for music, drinks, and time with my husband.

Tryout
John tried out for the Hickman High School freshman summer baseball team today. We told him this was about experiencing a real team tryout and we did not care if he made the team or not. We just wanted him to give it his all. When I picked him up, he said that he played well except for a couple of bad throws. We should find out the results some time next week.
