Chasing the Magic

Thursday June 10th was a pretty ordinary day in the life of our family.  The kids went to summer camp.  I went to work.  In the evening Jeremiah had a baseball game.  He walked twice, got a nice line drive single which scored a run, made a nice put-out throwing to first from center field, and generally had a good game.  Sierra got to climb some evergreen trees beyond the outfield, which is one of her favorite activities.  She got several scrapes and boo boos which allowed her to get some attention and bandaids, which are two of her favorite things as well.  (The attention and bandaids, that is).

The rather amazing things that happened were:
1. Sierra chasing fireflies around the back yard, and
2. Wolf chasing a bunny around in circles in our back yard.

Wolf's hips must have never touched the ground, because no dog with bad hips has ever moved like that before.  He looked like a black cheetah!  The bunny did make it into the neighbor's yard in one piece.  I bet that will teach that bunny a lesson!

Sierra looked like a ballerina in the dark, little lights guiding her across the stage.  She had no idea how beautiful she looked in that moment, thinking instead of the fireflies and trying to capture the magic of that little yellow glow.

Will you save some of these activities till we get there? I can just see Wolf. OLD DOG my eye. He's got your number.

Jeremiah, sounds like you are doing really well this year in ball. Hope to get to see you on the 26th.
