We were there.

Yes, we were at the final game at Yankee Stadium (9.21.08). It was an incredible night of baseball history- the Yanks brought back some of their greatest to take the field one last time. It was such a treat to see Yogi Berra, Don Larsen, Reggie Jackson, Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neil, and Tino Martinez in the Pinestripes again. Some of the guys I grew up watching and others I spent a childhood reading about. We stayed at the New York Palace and our room overlooked St. Patricks Cathedral- which is where the Babe's funeral service was held. It was a great weekend that didn't allow much time for sleeping but it was completely worth it. Darcy came to the stadium with me at 3pm til 7, then Audri and Marcie showed up and went to the bleacher seats and stayed for the whole game. So her first Yankee Stadium game was her last in the House that Ruth Built.

We also got to hang out with Christina Kane for awhile on Saturday afternoon, and eat at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. The girls saw Wicked and the Lion King, our 55 hours in Manhattan was slammed full of fun.

Darcy Says Dada

Darcy can now say Dada... does she know what it means, probably not but it sure is cute. Here is an excerpt that I caught on tape last week.




We have been attacked by a plague of LOVE BUGS, which seems funny when I type it out but it is insane. During the day I sit and watch thousands of the die on our front porch. I'll have to take a pic of what the average day of dead LOVE BUGS produces. I recently updated Forward Design's webpage, check it out at www.forwarddesign.org let me know what you think.

Corey | check out the audri's post below, I just realized she posted new Darcy Pictures.

"we dodge a bullet"

I just put that title up there because Corey is sick and tired of hearing people say it in the news. They are referring to the fact that HURRICANE GUSTAV missed us. Anyway the only problem we had from the storm was a leaky back door, which we have had since we moved in. The door people are supposed to fix it today. We will see...they have "fixed" the problem 3 times before. I thought I would update with some fun pictures of the baby. We are having so much fun with her. She loves to laugh and play.

What a pretty face!


Daddy and Darcy...she says "da da" now. She thinks "da da" is so FUNNY!


She put her hat on this way in the car.


And finally she no longer likes to play on the blanket...she tries to make a "run" for it.
