July 27

Hello everyone. Just a quick update. We had a busy weekend and just got in late tonight. Mark did well through the heat and humidity. Colton's team played in an awful rainstorm and the field was like a slip and slide on Saturday. They won both games Saturday and then made it to the championship game today. We played the Bay City Bears from Mobile and were beating them the entire game and gave it up in the bottom of the 6th inning. It was a tough loss, but we were proud of the kids. It was a tough team we were playing. The kids got 2nd place and I think kids and parents are all ready for a little break, but we had the best group of kids and parents you could ask for and our coaches were just top of the line.

Mark drove the entire trip (I did offer to drive, but he insisted on doing the driving). Not sure what that says about my driving, but he usually doesn't like me to get behind the wheel. He says I just drive too slow. Mark is really looking good. We will be anxious to see what the CT says on Wednesday. This time we will personally get the films and overnight them, so hopefully we'll be hearing something from Pittsburgh by week's end.

Thanks for all of you who continue to offer support and prayers. We appreciate it more than you know. God bless!!!!
