The REAL Biggio & Berkman....

Nicholas and his best friend Grant are on the same T-ball team this Fall. Their team name...the Astros! They have played very well, hitting awesome and learning how to slide into home base. Making sure they get their white baseball pants really dirty!

We have played many games and all have been so enjoyable. Nicholas is really enjoying this sport and succeeding at it already. Papa says he may have found his sport!!

Halloween Costumes..Part I

So Nicholas wants to be a RED Power Ranger..not just any color, but the Red guy. So, here he is trying out his costume and giving mom some action shots! Brother, where is your costume?

Go Astros!!

Jaime took Nicholas to see the Astros play at Minute Maid Park! I won these tickets in a raffle they had at a party we went too during Hurricane Ike. Jaime said the seats were wonderful, right behind the dugout. Nicholas enjoyed catching a t-shirt from the mascot and another ball he caught from a player. Though he cannot stay the whole 9 innings, these are memories Jaime and Nicholas are making together. In a few more years, there will have to be 3 tickets to the games!

The IKE vacation....

Well, it was coming.. Hurricane Ike and we just couldn't stay. You could say I am a fraidy cat when it comes to storms. And they said this was going to be THE storm of the year. So, Jaime and I loaded up the kids (and Toby too) and drove to San Antonio. We arrived late at my friend Pam's house. She welcomed all of us and even the dog. The weekend was gorgeous- weather was beautiful, sunny and even breezy! That saturday, we took the boys (and Pam) to Breckenridge Park to ride the train, to the Japanese sunken garden and down to the Riverwalk. The weekend was so relaxing, even though we were worried about our friends and family back in Houston. Needless to say, we had an unexpected vacation with the kids and had an enjoyable time staying at my friends' house. Then, back to Houston......
