Okay, so while I was with JZ in the hospital all weekend, Emmett was off at a baseball tournament in Danville.

Friday report from Emmett: "I pitched terrible. But we won. I had a single."

Saturday report from his Mom: "We won both games. Emmett's not hitting a ton, but he's playing well in the field. I think he got a couple singles. But we're 3-0 and we go to the championship rounds on Sunday."

Sunday report #1: "We won! Emmett had a walk off double. We're playing the finals in an hour!"

Sunday report #2: "I can't tell you want happened! I'm putting Arlo's Dad on!"

Arlo's Dad: "We got down early, giving up six runs in the first two innings. I think the local ump was squeezing Reed. Anyway, we kept chipping away at it. It was 6-0. Then we got to 6-2. 6-4. Then they scored a bunch. We were the visiting team and we went into the top of the sixth (last) inning down 10-5. Arlo got on with a quick single. Matthew hit a hard shot to the shortstop, but busted down the line and just beat the throw. We had a popup to the third baseman. One out. Then Jack hit a deep double, and scored two. Alex O. came up and hit a single, and scored another. Next player got out. 2 outs. Emmett comes up. Hits the first pitch very deep but foul. Strike one. Called strike two. Next pitch, Emmett crushes the ball deep into the left-center gap. They don't have fences so it just keeps rolling. Two runs score, and we're tied and Emmett's on third. Emmett hit a two out, top of the sixth inning, 0-2, 2 RBI game-tying triple.

Noah knocks Emmett in for the go-ahead. We score one more and we're now up 12-10. Noah comes out and pitches the bottom of the sixth. And gets them out 1-2-3 - Emmett caught the last out on a flyball to centerfield."

Emmett interrupts

"Excuse me, Emmett ran sixteen feet and made a horizontal dive to make the last out."

Emmett's mom in the background: "You liar!"

Arlo's Dad: "That's the way it's going in the books."

So Emmett's team won their last two tournaments of the season. He hit the game-winner in the semifinals, and the tying RBIs in the final, scored the go-ahead, and recorded the last out to ice it.

Pretty bookcases!!!

Yay, Emmett!!!

go Emmett!

the moon is not quite full. Dh and I took a quick, cold walk out to the neighborhood park to 'observe' it.

---

Go Emmett!!!

Yay for JZ and Hallowe'enie being home.

One more day of Micro-economics - a final and a paper to go...blerg.

Beth, your pictures made me giggle a lot. LOVE the construction outfit. Yay for JZ being home as well.

So today ND and I had an IKEA furniture assembly party at the new place. A group of seven of us spent just over five hours and managed to assemble six tall Billy bookcases, one two-level Expedit with legs, a kitchen island thingy, a table/desk, and three huge wardrobes including innards.

You know, I never realized how dirty furniture is. You should have heard the things coming out of our mouths about screwing and nailing and hammering. Amazingly, we had a great time.

BT, if you're about, there was a brief conversation about you today in our house.

Me: Oooh! Billytea is going to be here this month!

MM: Really? When?

Me: End of the month I think. We get to meet the Wallabee!

MM: How long has he had a wallaby?

Me: Oh, I think about a year. I lose track of time. He got her in Austrailia.

MM: He just go out and get one?

Me: No, I think they met online.

MM: Are you taking about a person or a marsupial?
