The boys had a hot (did I mention unbelievably HOT????), but fun weekend. Their team (new to us!), did very well at the state championship. They came in 4th place out of 20 teams. Not bad!!! Dylan played shortstop all weekend, and Pudge moved to 2nd base and did an awesome job at a new position for him. We are all recovering from heat exhaustion, but had a fun weekend. We are looking forward to the World Series. At least we have a week to regroup :)
I'm pretty sure this is why I hate Houston so much......summers here SUCK! I let the kids take an egg out and crack it on the sidewalk. It took 7 minutes to fry. Not bad for June. Did I mention at 10:15 last night it was still 90 degrees out? The State baseball tournament in La Porte should be lots of fun this weekend. We drew games in the worst heat of the day, at 3 and 4:30. Pray the kids don't pass out!
It is hot. Incredibly freaking hot.Oppressively hot, absurdly hot. I LOATHE TEXAS SUMMERS!
Unfortunately, we missed church last week. However, we went today and found out some news that hit Marcelo and myself like a mack truck. Our pastor's wife, Laura Shook, was diagnosed with Stage III colorectal cancer. Please pray for her during this difficult time. She will begin radiation and chemo this week. She is an awesome woman - a quiet force of nature that can fight this if anyone can. Here is a link to her blog....keep up with her journey and pray diligently for her. I know she is grateful to have people all over the world praying for her as she fights this fight.

I HATE CANCER!!!!!
Wow. I cannot believe summer is officially here! Emma had her 5th grade walk yesterday - I cried. They play loud music and have the 5th graders walk the hall for the last time. The other grades line up in the halls and high five them as they walk through. I'm so sad her time in elementary is over, but I know she is ready for middle school.
The boys are already bored :) They get to go to baseball camp next week, so they can't wait until Monday. They are obsessed with baseball. We left the team they are on and are looking for another right now, so that isn't helping. I'm sure a week at Miracles will do the trick. They will be so tired from 6 hours of baseball a day that they won't be bored!!!
Emma starts her Summer Intensive at dance on Monday as well. She goes for 6 hours a day for 2 weeks. This will be interesting. She gets to study with some professionals that her studio brings in. She is very excited about mixing in a little modern and jazz with the ballet and pointe. I know she is going to be in some serious pain from doing pointe every day for 2 weeks though. I know she will tough it out though.
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer. I am so glad they are out of school and to be on a little less of a schedule. Until Monday, that is. I really didn't plan on everyone being gone next week already. That makes me kind of sad.
Isn't she pretty??
