A Wonderful Play & Opening Day
Jack and the Beanstalk
"I was born to perform," mused Emily a few days before her elementary school play. Who are we to argue?
Emily, front and center, of course, with the play cast
With some friends before the show
When Katie was surprised that Dave didn't recognize them, he pointed out that they don't typically wear green makeup when they're visiting
The cook chorus, getting its two cents in
"Mr Giant, yoo hoo, we've cooked some food for you..."
With the directors after the play...
making lots of noise, of course
Little League Opening Day
Seven years to the month after being hospitalized for "failure to thrive," our li'l slugger took to the diamond for his first Little League Opening Day. Hey, after all he's been through, we're betting that his game will come around too. Probably in another seven years...
"The boys" before the game
Put me in Coach!
I'm ready to play today!

Other scenes from the game
Dave caught while Mikey's team batted. Due to old age, he stopped squatting after one inning
"C'mon coach, seriously..."
Dave, thinking of some Casey Stengel quotes
"Mikey, the tee is your friend!"
