John and Katherine's First Baseball Game

We got to go to an Astros game while we were in Houston. Before the game, we got to tour the stadium, and then got to sit behind home plate to watch the Astros' batting practice. The above picture is John about 4 hours into the whole experience (and 2 hours past bedtime!) The best part of the night was when Hayward, an outfielder for the Braves, hit a homerun into the bullpen. We were sitting on the first row behind the bullpen, and one of the relief pitchers tossed the ball up to John! He was so excited!

Our trip to Houston!

I am a little behind, but we have been very busy the last few weeks. Here is a bit of what has been going on.

Right before our vacation to Houston, my brother, Ryon, had to have his appendix out. He was taking care of my cousin's dogs in Midland, so we went to Midland for the weekend. After all that excitement, we got all packed up to go spend time with family!

Our trip to Houston took about 10 hours, with Katherine sleeping most of the way, and john sleeping about 6 hours of it. We got to see Ross and Trish and the newly engaged Matthew and Jena. We also got to visit with other wonderful friends and family!

John and Katherine both enjoyed swimming and got some wonderful gifts from Matthew and Jena!
