These two were so happy to see each other at John’s tournament today. We all miss our Jules!

Food and Friends
Carol and Shawn stopped through Columbia on their way to celebrate their anniversary in Branson. We ordered pizza for the kids and then headed to dinner at the Les Bourgeois Winery Bistro.
It was an evening of tasty food, good wine, and great conversation. I am so thankful that they stopped by!
Why?
Why in the world is the St. Louis Cardinals game on in my house? Right. It is playoff time. I hope they lose.
Off She Goes
And, off Laura goes for another night of Hickman High School Marching Band practice.
Practice ends at 9:30 pm, and Laura will get home between 9:45 pm and 10 pm. When Wednesday night practices first started, Andy would ride up to Hickman High School to ride home with her, but Laura insisted on riding herself home last week just as she will do tonight.
Does it make me nervous for her to be riding that late by herself? Absolutely. However, at some point, you have to let them grow up.
Oh, Laura, I am so not ready for this.
If You Build It…

Eh. It happens. I spent pretty much all of today in a zombie-like, exhausted state. Tomorrow is another day.
Where the Heart Is
The Mid-MO Stars are champions again, taking first place out of seven teams this past weekend in Old Monroe.
We won two on Saturday and ended up with the #1 seed going into Sunday. Despite two shaky first innings, the boys stepped up to bat and simply never looked back. The first game ended 12-5 and the championship game ended 11-3. As I watched both the boys and parents celebrating the championship win, I realized that we are all lucky people to be part of this. It does not matter if the boys are winning or losing even though winning is so much more fun. Family is where the heart is and this team has my heart.
