Happy New Year!

Is the greeting we share every opening day. It truly is a new year with new possibilities and every team is in the race. Following tradition I took opening day off from work and Evie Lu shared it with me for the first time. I have detailed before the joys of being a sports fan in the Pacific time zone and yesterday found the Yankees/Devil Rays game starting at 10am! Baseball at 10am, I love it.

Evie Lu learned the importance of pacing yourself on opening day. Just because you have the Cracker Jacks and brats doesn't mean you need to go crazy from the beginning. In the important games of the day Evangeline learned heartbreak and reality as the Cubs lost to the Reds in a game that was never really close, but she thrilled to the big bats and great pitching of the Minnesota Twins. Evie Lu let out a squeal that sounded a little like "Torii" when Mr. Hunter went yard early in the game.

The pictures below were taken during the Cubs game.

Dad, look how green the grass is. And that pitcher for the Cubs looks unbeatable. I like baseball!


What? Two home runs by Adam Dunn? That's not good.


Dad, I don't think I can watch this. When do the Twins play?
