Simon's first...

... boat ride. Didn't get any good pictures of him actually on the boat though.

... time riding a horse.

... tailgate.

Clown faces

We talked about it for a while and Simon's decided he's going to be a clown when he grows up... or a firefighter or a Stegosaurus. We're encouraging him to work on his clown faces. Please enjoy.

Simon reads his favorite book

Excellent storyline, fantastic characters, cloth pages. It's what I always look for in a book too.

The house that Ruth built that George is going to tear down

This past weekend was one of those "I shouldn't be doing this because I'm on the job hunt, but I can't pass up the opportunity" for me. This is that last year that the Yankees are playing in Yankee Stadium so Dad and I took a trip up to New York to see a game before it gets torn down. It was a whirlwind trip. Up Friday, back on Sunday.

Friday started with JetBlue canceling our flight. Not just delaying it. Canceling it. American was happy to take us up there with our miles. We fly into Chicago and get delayed. A lot. We eventually land at Laguardia at 1:30 a.m.

Friday night's dinner. Or was it really early Saturday morning breakfast?

Took the train to the Bronx and stopped by Stans.

Got there at the end of Kansas City's batting practice. Fantastic seats.

I'm not a huge Yankees fan, so it was good to see A-Rod strike out with the bases loaded and no outs.

The Field Crew does the YMCA as they groom.

New Yankee Stadium is just across the street from Left Field. It actually looks really good, but that doesn't mean they should've built a new one. They should have just remodeled the old one.

Despite delays due to weather and delays due to faulty aircraft parts it was a great trip. Thanks Dad.

Simon at home

Callie vs. Lake Austin

Callie got to go to the lake the other day. She battled the waves for hours. But in the end, Lake Austin's never ending waves proved victorious.

We'll get back to pictures of Simon soon...

Call me Ishmael...

Was driving home today and saw a huge water main break a couple blocks from our house... I don't think it's their turn to water.

Introductions

Simon reacts to Manny being introduced to the Dodgers....
