Lots of Baseball

Never before have I been lucky enough to attend 4 major league baseball games in the first month of the season – wow! We’ve seen the Cards play three times, twice at Busch Stadium two different weekends and once at Turner Field. The first and perhaps best game we saw was Easter weekend in St. Louis when the Cards beat the Astros. We were sitting in the outfield in “Big Mac Zone”, where Pujos (Collin’s favorite player) hit 2 home runs, including one grand slam, tying his record for RBIs in a game. The boys BOTH did great that game, and Carson enjoyed clapping and all the excitement. It helped that it was a day game and Laura & I came a little late with Audrey & Carson to accommodate naps. We also saw the Cards as a family back in Atlanta in the nosebleeds - see this video of Collin running bases.

We also took our friends Andy & Stephanie (fellow Texans) to an adults-only Astros game where we sat in the awesome Beck seats, just a few rows up from home plate on the first base side. Finally, one of Tim & Laura’s season ticket games occurred when we were visiting baby Ben so Collin Mike & I got to go with Tim & Audrey. Doris offered to watch Carson we had a baby-free evening that made watching the game much more relaxing. You can see a picture we took at the game for Laura upload to Ben's gallery of pictures.

Collin is starting to understand the game pretty well and playing baseball in our driveway at home is one of our favorite things to do together. He’s been properly indoctrinated into the one team everyone on both sides of the family can agree on - We love our Cardinals!
