Well, we did it. We bought a Keurig 2.0 K200 coffee brewer. The old Mr. Coffee was having some issues and, so, we used our $35 rewards certificate at Best Buy and bought the Keurig. We also ordered a reusable coffee filter from Amazon that is supposed to be compatible with our new brewer. Hopefully, it will be because I have a big bag of Starbucks Pike Place coffee that I bought from Sam’s Club and I really do not want it to go to waste. If the reusable filter does work, I am sure we will use that in combination with different brands of K-cups. We used the Keurig for the first time this morning and the thing really does make some good coffee. So far, two thumbs up!
Family Pictures!
It is time for yearly family pictures again. We met Tamara Bahr, our regular photographer and great friend, at Nifong Park this morning. Despite the wind, I think we got some fun new pictures.
I texted Tamara last night to ask her to help me remember to get some pictures of Andy and I with each of the kids. We forgot those last year, and I really wanted some of Mom with the kids and Dad with the kids. Thanks Tamara for remembering!
I am looking forward to seeing the results in a few weeks!

No picture of the day. Oh well…
Guys Night Out
Baseball
My heart stopped tonight. John was playing pitcher at his last baseball game of the season when he got hit hard in the mouth with a ball. I saw him fall and all the coaches surround him. I ran out of the stands to the field and all I could think was please let him be crying when I get there. It was an awful, horrifying, scary moment, but John is a tough kid. Despite a bloody nose, fat lip, and losing a baby tooth somewhere on the pitcher’s mound, he is smiling now. He is going to be sore tomorrow, but I will take that.
I am so proud of this boy. It was a very hard hit and seeing the blood from his nose really scared him. John handled it like a champ and he even insisted on writing a letter to the Tooth Fairy explaining how he lost his tooth. I suspect a somewhat large payout ($5) tomorrow…
