So, after we got back, and recovered from William being sick (mostly) we went to Mom & Dad’s for Bryan’s birthday party. He went back home to Vancouver the following day.

So now I can talk about the slopitch tournament this past weekend. The weather was awful, but we had a lot of fun anyway. I hit my first two home runs of the year - the first one was a nice drive off-field into the gap, and the second one was a hot shot that went right through their outfielder (and kept on rolling.) For whatever reason, I was swinging the bat fairly well over the weekend. I finished off the tournament by pulling a couple of long fly-outs, which was disappointing.

We wound up winning two games and losing four, but three of the four that we lost were very close fought games, and the two we won were both blowouts (also the games that I hit home runs in…coincidence?)

Saturday night, a bunch of us came back to our place to watch the hockey game, which thankfully turned out in Canada’s favour. The finals should be a good game tonight.

The papers on both houses have been signed, and the deals are all but done now. All we have to do is wait for the end of November, and we can move into our new house, so that’s pretty exciting. Not much new beyond that though.
