Update on the MIA

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been MIA....Blake had his USSSA State Baseball tournament in Greenwood, AR and we've been gone for several days. I'd love to report that we cleared the fields...but...we played 3 games...lost 3 games. Blake had an awesome catch in left field. One of those run, reach, and catch. Batting wasn't quite as good. He did finally get on base when he hit a high pop fly to the pitcher and the sun got in the pitchers eye...thank you God for the sun! We had a good time. It's always nice to get away for a few days. We caught a movie...Evan Almighty...I was actually pleasantly surprised. It's a great story about leadership and influence...and funny! I laughed so hard just in the first 5 minutes. Everyone needs a good belly laugh every once in a while. We drove home late Saturday night...got in around midnight...so we tried to take it easy yesterday...not an easy task on a Sunday. I got all the laundry washed back up and repacked Mr. Blake....he left for Louisiana this morning to visit a friend. He'll be gone till Friday. I already miss him....he gives the best hugs and doesn't mind cuddling with mom on the couch. Mal thinks she's too big for that lovey stuff. Q is busy in Iraq packing for his R/R....that sounds sooooooo good. He blogged today...so you can check it out. Well, that's a quick update on the Bales' Family....I'll try to get some pix of the ballgame posted later tonight.
