4th of July

For the 4th of July we went to a AAA baseball game; the Richmond Braves vs. the Norfolk Tides. We started the adventure off getting stuck in a rain storm! Since it was a sold out game, we had quite a trek from the car to the stadium. As we were walking, the rain started coming down! So, we started out soaking wet! The game was good but very long; 14 innings! With two outs in the ninth inning the Braves came back to tie up the game. This was a disappointment to all of us since we were waiting for the game to end so the fireworks could begin. Finally, the game ended around 11pm and the fireworks were fantastic! Mason and Brennan were both excellent for the game and fireworks show. Mason happily sat in Aunt Cathy's lap for a good portion of the game. He enjoyed the fireworks and kept saying "stars". He would also name the colors such as "star, it's blue!" He was so cute!

Brennan is a chunky monkey! He is getting so big quickly! He smiles are great and I am trying hard to capture a good one on camera (not an easy task!). Brennan is staying awake longer and more aware of his surroundings. He is very strong. This week while lying on his belly he was able to lift his chest off the floor!

Mason has discovered the sprinkler. He loves water and we are having a hard time keeping him from turning on the hose! In the pictures above, he is actually in his P.J.'s for an early morning sprinkler run!

This is my last week off before I return to work. I will miss being home full time and it will definitely take us some time to get into a new routine. For now, I am going to enjoy my last week off though!
