blue skies and spring showers

its raining this morning but overall we've been enjoying one of the warmest, sunniest and earliest springs ever in Minnesota. it has made for great softball, lots of business at Connie's, and wonderful evening walks.

emma's team now 3-0...but a scary moment in this week's game when our top pitcher (emma's good friend and usual battery-mate hannah kampman, also daughter of doug's co-coach gary) got hit on the side of the head with a line drive. she had to leave the game but turned out to be okay and the girls pulled it together for a comeback victory.

last night was the annual sociology department event. it was nothing special but we were happy that there was no burgalism at our house when we returned (unlike last year, if you recall). tonite is the MMSA school auction. tomorrow night, then, we are all invited to our friend Ann Meier's house for Chinese hotpot--a fondue-like feast that we had a couple of times in Beijing.

oh yeah, and we went to our first twin's game at the new field on Weds night. it was a great evening in a spectacular setting, especially as we've been having fun following the twins's success here in the early season.
