Go Mariners!!

My husband and his dad have gone to the Mariner's Fan Appreciation night since he was a small child. When I became Gregg's "Special Friend" (what Dennis Gregg's dad use to call me before we were married) I got to go to the games as well. As the girls have gotten older they have also been able to be part of the tradition. Last Friday we went with Dennis and Sayra to fan appreciation night. Here are a few pictures of that experience.

We did have a few balls come our way that night. Good thing Daddy brought his glove.

Going to Rehab

For those of you who are close to me you know that my brother, Eric, has struggled since he was 15 with drugs. This past January I received the dreaded call that he was in intensive care from a drug overdose. The next few days my dad, Christine, and I took turns sitting at his bed side. We prayed, we read, we waited. He became well enough to be transferred to a detox unit across town. After two weeks he CHOSE to go to a thirty day program in Wenatchee, after thirty days he then CHOSE to go to the Salvation Army Adult rehab in Seattle for a six month program. After all these years it is the first time he has really stated that he could not do this on his own. Well last Wed the girls and I took a bus (with my dad and his friends) down to Seattle to see him graduate. He has been eight months clean. He was the only one who completed his entire program and did it well. He became the head guy there. We are so proud of him. Please pray that he will continue on his journey and find the support and help he needs to stay clean. Here are a few pictures of the events of the night.

Emma's First Day of Preschool

Emma has been waiting for this day for two years! She has circle time by herself, reads to her "friends", and tries to sneak into class with Madison. Emma loves her teacher "Teacher Kodi". Emma had to wear her new "preschool kitty" shirt on her first day. (Although it was suppose to be 84 degrees she had to wear that long sleeved shirt.) Daddy took Emma to get a chocolate donut BEFORE school. Only a dad could get away with this. This is the picture I get on my phone...I was a really worried but she made it without chocolate on her kitty shirt. This was the sign we met when we got to school. It was too cute.
