Been meaning to write about the amazingly busy weekend we just had…but the busy-ness just hasn’t stopped!? Two baseball games, a gymnastics meet, Leigh’s Creative Memories Memoranza event and a choir performance!? In the mix, we had Andrew Saka with us for a time and we got to have a nice BBQ with the Gordon family as well.? Busy, but good.

Both boys played very well in their games.? Josh got on base several times, hitting runners in, played catcher, 1st base, center field and pitched two innings.? The first inning up, he threw only 10 times!? One of the parents has been keeping score and gave Josh? the scoresheet he’d kept on the? previous game where? he did so well.? That was really? nice!? You can check out the scores and what Josh had to say about the game as well.

Zach‘s team, the Mariners, played very well also.? Zach hit a great home run and did an awesome job of fielding in several positions.? Their league doesn’t keep score and it was a pretty close game, but I think they probably would have come out on top!?

Morgan enjoyed spending some time at the Memoranza with Leigh during Zach’s game and then the boys (including Andrew!) took her to her 1st real gymnastics meet at Seattle Gymnastics Academy.? She did great!? She earned a 9.9 for her vault!? The next Mary Lou!? ? Her AAA team, the Elastic Stars,? earned 2nd place (only 2 tenths of a point behind 1st place) of four teams competing.? Andrew and the boys enjoyed playing on the misc gymnastics equipment that they had access to while waiting during the 2.5 hour meet.? Unfortunatly, my camera was on the fritz, so I have no shots of this time…very sad.? I’ll be sure to have it fixed for the next one though.

The real highlight of this weekend was witnessing Zach getting baptized during service at the Fairview Church where we attend.? He did great and Pastor Dan said that he was honored to be asked by Zach to do the baptism.? Zach had Pastor Dan read from the first chapter of Genesis.

After church, Morgan’s choir, the Junior Treble Chorus, took part in the Pacifica Showcase performance that also featured the Ekstein Jazz ensemble that has consistently placed 1st in various competitions.? Several of the Jazz ensemble members are also members of the Pacifica choirs.? Morgan’s choir sang very well.? They performed 3 numbers, two selections from the musical, Oliver!, Food, and Consider youself and a song called Funicula Funiculi.? I’ll see if I can put edited versions of their songs on this site from the DVD when it comes out (which you can order yourself if you’re so inclined — very good music!).? Our good friends, the Gordon’s joined us at the performance to hear Morgan and enjoy the show.

? After the performance, of course, the kids wanted to continue spending time together, so we arranged a BBQ with the Gordons and spent an enjoyable evening talking about kids, Seinfeld, Garbage Island and solar panels.
