Back again

So I know I haven't posted for two weeks, but what a two weeks it has been. I'm hoping I can finally take a breather and sit back and get my life back to a manageable speed. After my birthday, Grace's birthday, Grace's party, end of year school activities, visit from Kathy, Max & Joey, Grace's "graduation", swim parties, swim classes, the dance recital today, we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

For those that haven't heard yet, we did get approval for the transfer for Grace to the public elementary school we wanted her to go to, so it looks like she will NOT end up being a Catholic school girl, which also means our pocketbook will get some relief. Of course, now I need to try to get some signatures from various school administrators on Tuesday and Wednesday to make the transfer final, so I'm not out of the woods yet.

Now I'll try to catch up with a few pictures. Here's some from our family trip to the Ranger game on my birthday.

Ahh, the view from our seats at the game. They were just at the other end of the row from the season tickets Kim and I share with my parents, so this is the view I normally have. It is high (300 level), but it is directly behind home plate so you have a great angle on everything except high pop ups, which look like they are home runs until they land behind the 2nd baseman. You do get great breezes up here.


Alex enjoys his first baseball game. He did really well - we lasted until about the 6th inning in our seats. All you need are hotdogs, french fries, cotton candy and fun music to keep a 2-year old's attention.


Grace in her new pink Rangers hat that matches her pink Rangers shirt. Her butterfly face paint is left over from the school carnival that morning (oh yeah, one other thing to add to the list of activities from the last two weeks).


The kids like to hit the Coca Cola Sports Park behind centerfield before we leave. There's only a couple of the games that they can do. This t-ball one is the first one they hit. They also tried a ring toss, but of course didn't get anything out of it. But the best were the temporary tattoos they got there - my kids kept those things on for a week.


Alex takes his turn a the t-ball game. I think Jim had to finally step in to help him hit the ball in the right direction.


My kids playing at the feet of Nolan. It was a wonderful evening.
