Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Just thought that in honor of the recent World Series I'd share a couple of cute pics of Cal modeling his favorite baseball outfits.  Andy can't wait to take him out to a game.  Maybe next year.

Finally!

Well, I finally, after three years of teaching there and attending mass, registered as a member of OLMC.  I also registered for the baptism class coming up later this month.  And, I filled out a compatibility survey so that Andy and I can have our marriage blessed.  Once Andy fills out his part, we can call the priest and set up a date for the baptism.  If everything works out, we should be able to have our marriage blessed, have Calvin baptized, and receive an adoption blessing all on the same day.  Should be quite the day!

Calvin's Big Night Out!

Well, we had another milestone yesterday.  Our last two softball games of the year were last night.  Cal really wanted to come cheer us on but it was a bit chilly.  So, he had his first big night out away from mom and dad.  He stayed with my parents for a few hours.  I think he was pretty well-behaved.  He's not getting into too much trouble at this point.  When I dropped him off, he got to meet the kids my mom babysits.  Dax seemed to really enjoy meeting him.  In fact, he said he was going to take Cal home with him.  I told mom to keep a close eye on that one!  : )

Are you ready for some football? I am!

Today was not Cal's first Colts game but it was the first game where he got to be home and get dressed up in his finest gear!  All in all, he really enjoyed the day, often waving his hand around, clearly cheering for his hometown team.  Cal had several visitors today: Uncle Josh, Gretchen and Coop, and Luke and Bridget Habegger as well as the kids - Kylee, Brady, and Addie.  Uncle Josh worked on transforming his new Transformer.  As complicated as that was, it is hard to believe they are toys for kids.  It was hilarious to see Coop and Calvin next to each other.  Coop made Cal look even tinier.  They didn't interact much but I'm sure they will be friends one of these days.  It was great to hang out with the Habegger's, too.  The kids really enjoyed meeting Cal.  Brady was especially enamored with him and was very sweet and gentle.  Both of the "big" kids got to hold him and were quite excited about it.  The Habegger family also brought us dinner so we have delicious lasagna, bread, salad, and brownies to look forward to tonight.  Yum!!

I can't wait for the game to start!
