It’s opening day at Wrigley Field. The Milwaukie Brewers take on the Chicago Cubs. Maddie and I are ready to watch the game. Maddie is wearing her Cubs shirt and hat that Grandpa Smith got her. The Cubs paid tribute to “Mr. Cub” Ernie Banks with a statue in front of Wrigley Field. I think this is something that was well earned and deserved. I also have read all the hype about Kosuke Fukudome, the Cubs new Right Fielder, and was anxious to see him play. His first time at bat he hit a double to center field on the first pitch. Not a bad start. Unfortunately he was left stranded on 3rd base. Then he hits a 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game. But, I'm sad to say they lost anyway. The rain delays made for a long game, but it made some good photo taking time.
We have our rally caps on.
Go Cubs Go!
Just kickin' back, watchin' the game
"I want that hat Daddy"
My mom and dad (Gary and Pauline) agreed to dog-sit for us. We then left for Michigan to visit John, Meg, Caitlyn, and the new baby Aiden on Monday. We had a good time. Aiden is very cute! It’s hard for me to believe that just 7 months ago Maddie was that small. He seemed so tiny and fragile. I spent most of the time playing hide-and-seek with Caitlyn. She wanted Maddie to chase her, but since Maddie hasn’t crawled beyond 3 steps, it was a short chase.
