Kylo Ren and Rey are in the house!

Andy leaves for Ignite, a work conference, in Atlanta tomorrow morning.

We arrived at the ballpark a little early this evening so that John could practice pitching with Andy behind the plate.  John is still not showing interest in pitching, but he is getting less adverse to the thought.

We followed that up with a game.  John struck out on both at bats, but you can’t hit them all.  He did have some good defensive plays.  Go, John, go!

This little frog hangs out in one of our outdoor plant pots.

This is my son with the ear infection.  Acting completely normal minus the fact that he says his ear hurts “a bit,” and he can’t hear out of his right ear.  He has had no fever and no other symptoms.  I took him to Mizzou Quick Care where the Nurse Practioner tugged on his ear a bit after looking at it and asked, “Are you sure it doesn’t hurt when I pull on your ear?”  John said, “No!” with a very annoyed tone because she asked him three times.  She looked at me and said, “Wow, he must have a really high tolerance for pain because his ear is purple.  If my ear looked like that, I would be crying on the floor.”  Yep.  That’s my boy.

It was Back to School Night for Units B and C at Ridgeway Elementary tonight.  We visited John’s classroom and teachers first.  John’s project was a book – The Important Thing About Me.

Next, we visited Laura’s classroom and teacher.  She was excited to show us her class job.  She is currently Schedule Helper.

Laura’s class made T-shirts about themselves that listed all of their favorite things.

The kids are doing well and having fun.  It hit me as we left the school that this was our last Back to School Night with Laura.  I cannot believe it.  I need to make sure I take lots of pictures this year!

Fall baseball pictures have arrived!  This is John’s individual picture.

This is the team collage.
