Seasons Change

It's a beautiful week up in Virginia with all the trees changing colors.

Next time I come, they'll all be gone.

Going to Virginia

The view from the plane as it takes off on yet another trip to Virginia.  Work.

MISLL Baseball

I finally got to see a game last night!!  Anton has not been able to play at all because he has class on Tuesday nights, and I've been traveling.  But they played Coach Kindred's team.  Not sure what the score was, I stopped keeping track after 11-11...

Anyway, Anton pitched the first two innings, no runs were scored.  He pitched great!!  Then he played shortstop where he fielded a ball to first base for an out.  They he played three innings as catcher.  He hates playing catcher!  But our usual catcher was playing on his baseball team.  Anton was so-so as catcher, but I did "catch" him in his gear with his mask over his face.  Oh well.

So Jean-Luc!

Homecoming

Last night was Edgewood's Homecoming.  Anton, Chris, and Matthew went.  And they had a great time and even danced with a few girls!

Birthday

Anton sent me the cutest picture for my birthday.  Isn't he a cutie??

Waxing Eyebrows

So I was getting my nails done last night at the mall. The guy (yes, a guy did them) said now let's wax your brows. I had plenty of time to kill, so I said ok. Never had it done before, first time for everything. Well, it kind of hurt, but wasn't too bad. After that, I went to the moving sushi bar in the middle of the mall, out in the open where everyone was walking by. Had a nice dinner. Called the hotel shuttle and headed back to my room. Where I saw that I looked like a ninja turtle with a red mask!

And that's not the worst thing. I went to sleep, and woke up with the red mask still in place. And it was puffy. And itchy. So I put on my makeup only to find out that I had run out of concealer. Less than a drop left. I hid it as best I could and went to the office. Had a meeting that lasted several hours in the morning. All I could think about was my red, itchy eyes and DO NOT SCRATCH!

North Florida Storm Baseball and Jean-Luc!! And a Movie.

Anton had a tournament in 'St Augustine'.  I put quotes around it because it was really just outside the city limits of Jacksonville.  I was under the impression that he only had two games in the morning on Saturday and was free the rest of the day.  That's why we went to pick up Jean-Luc for the weekend.  We were going to do the baseball tournament in the morning and tour St Augustine in the afternoon.

Anton pitched in the first game, which they won 4-2.  He threw 51 pitches in 3.1 innings with 2 hits, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, and 1 earned run with a .90 WHIP score.

They lost the second game, 0-1, on a technicality after the third tie-breaker inning.

At this point, we found out that we had a game in the evening.  *sigh*  So we went to a movie, Machete Kills, and then came back.  I liked Machete Kills.  It was a nice sequel to the first movie, and of course Danny Trejo was great.  They had a lot of star power in the movie: Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga, Cuba Gooding Jr, Antonio Banderas, and the list goes on.  Anyways, I took Chris and Jean-Luc back to the hotel and stopped for pizza for dinner.  I then went back to the game where the North Florida Storm were having the game of their life!  Rhett W. was pitching, and he got 15 strikeouts!  And then he hit a Grand Slam!!  Holy Cow!  They ended up winning, 8-0.

Then we had a final game in the morning.  Which we lost, 3-4.  I'm kind of glad because we had Jean-Luc with us and I wanted to spend some time with him and Anton didn't play at all.  So we went down to Harry's in St Augustine for lunch.  It was yummy!  And Jean-Luc was very cute, so it all turned out well.  Then we had to take him back to UNF and head home.

North Florida Storm Baseball

We went to Anton's baseball tournament in Jacksonville yesterday, just the two games. Even though the tournament is Friday to Sunday. Friday, they lost. Yesterday, they lost one and won one. Anton played in the second game. He batted once. He got a hit, and he scored! They won 10-0. And sadly, I heard today they lost. So they are done.

On another note, we did get to spend the day with Jean-Luc! I was so happy to see my boy. He's doing well, and just as surly as ever. He and Chris were inseparable for most of the day.

North Florida Storm Baseball

Anton had a tournament in Ft Myers last weekend.  They played three games over two days.
They tied this game, 0-0.  On the first day, Anton pitched in the second half of the game.  He pitched 3 innings and threw 52 pitches  with 3 strikeouts and allowing 2 hits and 3 walks.  27 of the pitches he threw were strikes, and 5 of those were first pitch strikes.  In the bottom of the fifth inning, Anton threw it to the third baseman and caught the runner stealing.

On the second day, they played two games.  They won this game, 9-2.  He sat out the second game.  They lost this game, 1-9.  And in the third, he was able to get up to bat in the final inning.  He was walked and got to second base before the inning was over.
