Fathers Day Weekend!

Wow how time just flies. We had a flurry of activities this past weekend. Travis was umpiring in a legion baseball tournament. The tournament was Fri-Sun. The weather cooperated for the most part. It rained on Saturday so those games were moved to Sunday. At first, the guys were a little bit concerned about getting the games all covered but it worked out in the end.

It was Trav's first fathers day. Addie & I let him sleep in for the most part. =) We decided to wake him up around 8:30 because we were excited to give him his card & gift. We made up a silly little book of coupons. The coupons are good for things like, a day of golfing, fishing, doing nothing, a date with me, a date with Addie and so on. We just had fun being creative. Trav's gift from Addi & I is a photo put onto canvas. The canvas didn't actually arrive in the mail till Tuesday but I can't complain because I saved 75% off the normal cost. Besides, it's not about the gifts anyways. That afternoon Travis umpired the championship game. Addie & I were cheering him on. I'll get a few pictures up in a little bit.

After the game was done, we headed over to one of our Umpire friends house for a BBQ. It was a great time spending the evening with all the umpires and their families. We all pitched in a brought some side dishes. I made 10 lbs of potato salad. It was quite the feat; 10lbs potatoes, 18 hard boiled eggs, 1/2 stalk celery, 1/2 lb radishes, 2 onions, and 1 jar of Mayo. Trying to get everything prepared in my tiny galley kitchen was fun. Some day I'll have a big kitchen with lots of counter space. (A girl can dream) I must say Athena (an umpire wife) made some of the best food at the BBQ. Cold Orzo salad with feta and green olives, homemade mac & cheese and then 2 homemade french silk pies. Yummy!

Addie is doing great this week. She's been a mighty trooper with all of the running around that's been going on. If we're at home, she gets tired like clock work. Come 6:15 she's fussy and wants to go to sleep by 6:30. If we're out and about, she's awake and happy as can be. Last night Trav put her to sleep after I got home at 8pm. All this pesky light business, granted I love that it's light out till 9pm but it's not conducive to putting Addie to sleep if we're not home. We keep her room nice and dark with the windows blocked out.

Until next time,
Love Trav, Tiff & Addie

P.S. Happy Fathers Day again to everyone!
