Back to Missouri Tommorow

I thought Scott and Brayden were going to have an evening off from baseball but as it turned out they had team pictures last night. I don't know any of the kids by name but can pick them them out by number. Brayden is always number 5 which was Albert Puhols number when he was a Cardinal and is still Brayden's favorite player even though he's not a Cardinal. We have another game tonight. Life revolves around baseball here. I'm not sure what he's decided about playing on the All Star Team and I'm trying not to influence him. We want to see lots of him. I believe he has to decide by tomorrow. Beth had dinner ready as soon as we got home from pictures yesterday. We're leaving for the lake as soon as they get home tomorrow. Mad Dog will have the air conditioner on if we need it. Suzanne will shop for Saturday morning breakfast and then some one will shop later for more groceries. Everyone will probably arrive before we do. Tristan can't come but Jalen is bringing two friends. I talk to Rose every morning and she says the fires aren't near her but the smoke is visible and they can smell it. I've been watching for the information of it on the news channels. We get to keep Brayden tonight but he just goes to school early and Beth takes him on her way to a different school. He doesn't seem to mind getting there early. He and Jalen are both straight A students. Their Dad is so proud of them. They come right in from school and do their homework without being told.
