The Baseball Itch

Lately, I have been telling Lezlie how I can't wait until baseball season starts. Face it, you can only watch so much American Idol before you go nuts. And, since my parents were in town for the weekend and had yet to go to the new Busch Stadium, we decided to go downtown and tour the stadium.

Of course, they first show you all of the fancy all-inclusive areas in which you get "free" soda, beer, food, etc. However, they kinda glaze over the idea that one ticket can cost $100-300. But, I think we all agreed that it would be nice to someday sit in those green seats and get pampered. In the end, they guided us onto the field and into the dugout. So, it was definitely worth Mom and Dad's $10:)

At the end of the weekend, we decided to let Minnie and Papa steal Maya for a couple days. Jocelyn and Olivia were on spring break and heading to Cole Camp so we thought Maya should join in on the fun.

Let me tell you, it feels a little weird being at home without Maya. We were kinda lost. Not surprisingly, our house managed to stay clean for a couple days. And, I think Vinnie enjoyed a little peace and quiet. On Monday, Lezlie was craving Hooters wings and since we had the chance, we went. It's funny, the last time we were there was the night before Maya was born. Lezlie was WAY past pregnant and we wanted to try the whole spicy food remedy to speed up the process. I guess it worked. This time, however, Lezlie did not have a baby. Sorry Grandma and Grandpa--maybe next time.

Well, we've had Maya back since Tuesday night but it seems like we haven't. Over the past couple weeks, she has been wanting to go to bed a lot earlier--most of the time before 8. So we really only get to see Maya for a couple hours a day. And, half of that is spent feeding her. Thank goodness it is the weekend. We'll finally have the chance to spend some quality time together.
