Last week was a little bit of a drag after all the goodbyes, but we made our best efforts to see friends, get outside and cheer ourselves up.  Noah had UVM basketball camp last week, followed by baseball every evening, so he pretty much fell into bed at the end of each day.  Noah's team had their first couple of all-star baseball games, and despite some very good plays, they lost both games.  The next game is Wednesday, so send them your positive vibes!

Evie and I had some nice time together last week while Noah was at camp, and it gave us a chance for haircuts, lunch with friends, as well as getting our final things together for our upcoming trip to North American Nationals for Irish dance this week in Orlando.  Evie has been so dedicated to her training and preparation, and we are excited for her to have the chance to show her skills on the big stage!  It is refreshing to see how much more prepared and confident she is going into Nationals this year compared to last year.

We finally had a beautiful, sunny weekend, and we got out and enjoyed it!  In between baseball and volunteering at the little league tournament, we had lots of time at the pool, a visit to Indian Brook, and we also got to see our nephews' band play at JCAT on Saturday night.  They did an incredible job!

In his non-sports time, Noah has been back into Tech Deck mini skateboards, crafting his own boards too!
