One year…

 

It was one year ago today that we first got the call about our little girl.  One year since we first saw her picture.  I never imagined we would go a whole year and still have no idea when we would get to bring her home.  The pictures show how much we have missed.

Harvey and Ryan went to see the Giants last night.  After a six game streak he finally came home without a souvenir…yeah right!  He got another signed ball.  We love Nate Schierholz!  They had great seats and got to see Posey warm up right in front of them.  If that darn Lou Seal would have stayed farther away, it would have been a perfect game.  Oh, and if they had won.

The morning

While Ryan was doing some work I heard Erik by the back door:

Buster on the mound

Ryan got to catch for one of his buddies tonight.  It was so cute.  Ryan kept giving him signs and his friend would nod.  Ryan ran up to the mound to talk to him.  I’m sure that moment had played out in his head a few hundred times.  So fun!

Score

We stopped by a friend’s garage sale.  Ryan bought two boxes of baseball cards for $4.  That folks, would be 1,600 cards.  It would also be hours and hours of sorting fun.  Of course all and any good ones had already be sorted out.  He did find a Nolan Ryan though.

Another day at the park

What a fun day!  We played a team from another league today.  First inning, our team got them out 1,2,3.  I hadn’t even made it to my picture taking spot yet.  We scored a couple runs and I thought we were on our way to a huge victory.  Reality hit hard at their next at bat.  I started noticing how huge the other team was.  They didn’t have a single small player.  Then I heard one of their moms saying they were a level up from us and all of them were at least 10.  Ryan just turned 7.  Our team was down 4-8 in the third inning and then they turned it on.  We ended up beating them 12-8.  They had been undefeated until today.

Ryan throws his catcher mask off every time he misses a ball or there’s a foul tip.  He almost caught one today.

We love baseball!

Tonight Tessie came over.  Ryan was talking to her in the living room while I was getting Erik out of the bath.  After baseball a few of the boys came over to play.  It was after six when the last one went home and nearly seven when Tessie came over.  He told her that he had been wearing his cup the whole day.  She asked him if it was kind of uncomfortable.  He told her, “Well, just when I was riding my bike.”

Monkeying around

A few weeks ago Gramma came by and saw the flower beds Harvey made.  She asked if he could make her a smaller one for her backyard.  He knocked himself out!  She got two and they are so cute.  I can’t wait to see them with flowers.  Don’t you think a couple would look nice against the garage? :  ) IMG_0098

At the mound

 Ryan got to pitch last night.  He just loves it.  He struck the first guy out.  Hit the second guy.  Next guy got on first. Struck out the next guy, and then he threw out the next one at first.    2012-05-16_008 2012-05-16_009 2012-05-16_010 2012-05-16_011 The bummer about being a lefty last night was the sun and how far back I had to be because of the fence.  Someone might have been asked to move back by one of the teen umpires…
