CONGRATULATIONS CUBS!!!! MINOR LEAGUE CHAMPS !!

Travis and his baseball team played in the Minor League Championships tonight June 11th, 2009 at Bond Field. The final score was Cubs 11 and the Red Sox 5. The two teams have had a "playful" rivalry since the beginning of the season. During the regular season, when the Cubs and the Red Sox played each team won one game. During the Minor League Tournament the Cubs lost to the Red Sox on Monday the 8th, so they were in a situation where they had to win Tuesday against the A's (which they did). Wednesday the 10th, they faced the Red Sox again, in another must win situation. The Cubs won Wednesday, which brought them to a 1 game final against the Red Sox. The two teams ended up playing each other 3 times in the tournament.

Congratulations to BOTH teams. It was a battle to the last pitch.

Hey friends and family,
Now that I'm out of the drug haze I was in for a few days, I thought I would let you know how I'm feeling. First of all, thanks everyone, for all your thoughts and prayers over the last few days. And thanks for all your help with the kids and chores. I really can't thank you enough. I'm feeling alot better. I'm still pretty sore, but I'm getting back to my old self. The surgery went well and I'm healing nicely, not jumping rope or anything, but I'm getting around so much better. Just a few more days and I should be back to normal. Thanks again.
Love, Melissa
