Nelly had so much fun playing baseball this year! He made a slew of good friends and was a solid hitter for The Dogs.
They made it to the playoffs but lost the first game in August putting them out of the race.
These photos are from their wooden bat game.
We have been cooking a lot and trying new recipes! I've posted the recipes on my facebook page with photos.
Here are a couple meals we made!
In July we had visitors from out of town! Ann MacPherson (my dads first cousins wife) came for moms weekend to see her son. And we all got together for an evening of improv!! It was great hanging with our friends Brian (Ann's son) & Simone, Ann, Simone's Sister Cozette, their mom Janice and our cousin Sarah (my dads cousins daughter). Truly a family affair!!
Our first year wedding anniversary (August 24th) rolled around fast!! We got so many well wishes from family and friends. The Saturday before we took a day to get out of town, and drove up to the Danish town of Solvang. We went wine tasting, ate lots of food, and enjoyed the shops.
Our Anniversary evening was spent at our favorite pub Timmy Nolans which is where we first met! I created a fun game for Nelly - he had to put pictures of events from the past year in chronological order and he surprised me with flowers at work.
This past weekend was hot hot hot - we averaged temperatures of 100 degrees and it was up to 109, 107 here in the valley.
The now famous Station fire began in the Angeles National Forest over the weekend and is visible from where we live. The fire is now under better control, and should be out by weeks end.
This photo above was taken on our drive out to Rancho Cucamunga to see a minor league baseball game (The Quakes) with some friends. The game was a nice break from the heat, and we enjoyed being outside of LA.
We've been hanging out as much as we can with Martha and the kids! They are growing up so fast and it's fun to be a part of it.
Sometime in August Adelee began calling me Jenny instead of "Nigh." She still calls Nel "BoBo" but she knows his full name is Nelson. Gordie is such a cuddle bug and loves his BoBo.
We're looking forward to falltime, and will update as we go along.
Jenny & Nelly
