first baseball game...

this past week, we headed out with some friends to Minute Maid Park to watch the Astros play the Braves. I didn't have very high expectations for the game - I don't really follow baseball, and the Astros haven't been having a good year. they ended up trouncing the Braves, though, and it was a super-fun game! Magz did really well through most of the game, and contrary to these photos she only truly started losing it in the bottom of the eighth (I love how she looks as though we're torturing her here):

we had a group of about ten or eleven people, including our friends and neighbors just down the street:

here's magz, hanging out on one of YaYa's quilts and sporting one of the first things mama has bought for her. not that this child needs me to buy her clothing - she's been given so much that we honestly don't have much need at all. I just happened to be at target and saw a couple of cute things and... well, there it is.

cross-eyed!

and here she is having a fun Saturday morning with Daddy (she lost one of her socks along the way):

now we're all listening to Queen's Lullaby Baby, she's sacked out in her swing, I'm on the computer and gearing up to tackle my 'in' box, and M's over in the chair reading Bonhoeffer's 'Life Together' before heading out to purchase supplies to build us some bookshelves. I read that book forever ago, and suddenly want to read it again. happy weekend!
