CFW Throws a No-Hitter!

Alyssa's little bro Christopher threw a no-hitter Saturday morning in a little league tournament. In four innings (the other team got mercy ruled) he struck out 9 had one walk and didn't allow a hit. He also walked, had an RBI double and a single while scoring two runs. In an earlier game he got beaned, thankfully on his non-throwing arm, and scored a couple of runs as well. He was pretty stoked.

Lights, , Action!

The blank space in between Lights and Action would normally include Camera, but my life has been camera free for the last couple of months it seems. Alyssa and I went to Carmel for a four day weekend on the Fourth of July and I forgot my camera. There was a 42 mile bike ride out of Carmel Valley that I didn't bring my camera to, a great hike from the coast in between Carmel Highlands and Big Sur that I left my camera at the house for, and great dinners in Carmel by the Sea that didn't include any picture taking.
I went to Josh and Megan's engagement party on July 11th but didn't have my camera with me. Alyssa cooked me meals that entire weekend and I didn't capture any on film. The Lacks had Alyssa and I over for a BBQ Sunday and I got no new pictures of now 6 month old Ellie. My parents had me over for my birthday Tuesday night and my Mom actually took some pictures, so that doesn't count.
Anyway I've been dropping the ball on picture taking, and without pictures blogging can be B-O-R-I-N-G. So I've been slacking on that too. Alyssa and I whooped up on Ryan & Bryn Sunday in a pictionary game, though it was for my birthday so maybe they let us win. Ellie has really started to show some personality from the previous times I've seen her, smiling and interacting with people and toys, rather than just sleeping and eating. Wedding plans are progressing on schedule, I guess, and work has been going well. Overall, life is great!
