dedicated

Already we're starting a new weekend, but I'm still catching up from last weekend. We had Janny's dedication at church, so we invited some family to come celebrate with us. Many came. In fact, we had to borrow John and Nancy's house (they were away for the weekend) to house everybody.

We had the honor of hosting Janny's namesake, Aunt Jan. See any resemblance?

Janny is the happiest 3 month old baby in the world right now. You know who is happy about that? Us.

Check out the kids' table. Yup, that's Clara sitting with the 'big' kids eating her lunch.
We didn't do a whole lot away from the house. We had a blast hanging out in the backyard with bike parades, chasing, wagon pulling, and basketball playing. Late Sat afternoon we went to the park near County Market for some playground and wiffle ball. Perhaps 8 other kids at the park joined in on the game. Miko had the best swing, but I enjoyed Xavier's overhand-one-armed approach. Hitting the ball in this manner is not easy.
Here's the whole crew after church. We took up 2 1/2 rows in our usual back-corner. Serious representation.
Our softball team went through a dry spell, but we have played much better the last 2 weeks. We didn't win, but we didn't lose by double digits. I slumped a little bit during those games, but swung the bat better this week (3 for 4 (all singles though)). We've still only won one game, but watch out for us in the playoffs!

Finally, I interviewed this week for a promotion at work. I'll find out results in a month or so.

Double finally, Jill restyled her hair!
