Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

By -

One of the great things about Spring is baseball. There's nothing like a day at the ballpark: the tasty hot dogs, the tantalizing smell of deep fried goodness, the crack of the bat and the occasional "Get some glasses Blue! That was a strike!" And with the start of the baseball season comes warm temperatures and sunshine.... Wait, not in South Bend. Unfortunately, it is still freezing here! Last weekend we went to a Notre Dame baseball game to enjoy the sun and the special fireworks show after the game. Well, we lasted about 4 innings - As you can see from the pictures, it was cold! Christina actually went back to the car after the 3rd inning, but if you know me, I am pretty stubborn and don't like to leave games early. But after the 4th inning, I was done too.

Luckily, in three innings, we still got to see some pretty good things. Check out the picture with the little kid. You might wonder what he is doing. Well, for about 10 minutes he was digging in his mom's head and picking out the gray hairs. And get this... whenever he found one, he picked it out with his teeth!! Can you believe that! It was absolutely disgusting, but hilarious at the same time. Finally his mom realized what was going on and made him stop. Unfortunately we couldn't get a picture of him pulling out the hair with his teeth, but we were laughing so hard. I guess it is cheaper than having to get your hair colored.

Check out how good of a photographer I am... You can see the ball in the air! I should have worked for Sports Illustrated!

That's really funny about the kid picking the hair. I dig through a certain someone's hair to pick out grey hairs too, but doing so with my teeth is where I draw the line.

Belated Bolder Boulder Post

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

Lily is Home!

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
