It's been an interesting week. Merrick was off Monday due to a teacher grading day and the girls stayed home on Thursday because there was a potential safety issue at their school and we where not taking any chances. Add to that an early release and an all-day career fair and it adds up to be an out of rhythm kind of week.
There is one thing that never changes though, and that's sports demands. Carrigan had volleyball, although I didn't think to get any pictures. Boo for mom.
Elsie had softball. They were running drills and Elsie started off at first base. It was just a little too perfect as that has been Merrick's happy place for so many years.
As to be expected at this time of year, Merrick had baseball. This weekend's games, on the whole, were not fantastic, but there was one moment that will certainly be remembered. Merrick was on third base and decided to steal home on a passed ball. Unfortunately, tall Clifford men weren't made for head first sliding and it didn't go as planned. His face ended up hitting the turf and his helmet came off. It caused him to scorpion, with his feet coming up over his head. Today, he is sporting the battle scars, but the important thing, as evidenced by the fist bump to his teammate, was that he beat the tag and scored.
