Tyler, one of the pastor's kids from the corner house just came over after his family had been gone this weekend and said before now they weren't allowed to say anything, but now it's official. He and his family will be moving in August back to Alexandria where his dad has been voted by the church they originally came from to return as pastor. They've been in Thief River about 5 years now and unfortunately his dad wasn't able to make ends meet with the congregation here in TRF, so they have to move. It's a sad day, as they were Aaron and Daniel's first friends they made upon arriving in TRF last year and hundreds of hours have been spent playing with them since. They have represented about 95 percent of the boys' playmates, so it will be a tremendous void to fill once they've gone. Thankfully we still have another couple of months of baseball before they leave so it will give the boys time to assimilate the change more gradually and school will start up again soon after that, so they will hopefully make new friends quickly. With any luck, another family will move in quickly. One thing is for sure, this house and yard will be pretty quiet for at least a while without the daily comings and goings of their buddies. I'm thankful for the time we have had them here, however brief it's turned out to be.
In other news, Daniel tied his T-ball game last week 14-14 and Aaron's Orioles lost to the Brewers 16-8. Aaron was 3 for 4, but they managed to throw him out at first on each hit. The Brewers were a pretty good fielding team and they apparently had one fifth grader on their team. Aaron returns to action tonight against the Royals in a rematch with his buddy, Tyler. He has another game on Thursday against the Reds and Daniel has another T-ball game on that day as well.
I think it's about time to go get some errands done now, so I'll sign off for now. Looks like it may be a day of rain today (finally).
