Opening Day!

Since life has been such a whirlwind for the past couple of years I have decided it is finally time to make sure to document it. A blog seems like the perfect way to do this and to keep in touch with family and friends at the same time.

We have officially been California residents for more than a year now. This fact in itself is extremely hard to believe - but add in selling a house, buying a house, moving twice, giving birth to a beautiful baby boy, putting in a swimming pool, and searching for a new job, and you've got one very exciting year.

Not only is this opening day for this blog, but yesterday was also Major League Baseball's opening day. It seems much earlier than usual to me and I'm not sure we can call it "official" in this house since neither the Boston Red Sox nor the Philadelphia Phillies played. It was also 90 degrees here, and that just seems too warm for the first games of the season. We did happen to celebrate the occasion in our house by having a dinner of sausages with peppers and onions, and an ice cold beer. At least we were healthy and had chicken sausage on whole wheat buns! Cotton couldn't partake in those treats but he did see a few minutes of the Dodgers game on TV before bed, and he wore some baseball pajamas in observance of the day. He's got plenty of Phillies gear thanks to our friends in South Jersey, but we've got to work on his Red Sox wardrobe too.

We're really looking forward to taking Cotton to some games as he gets older. Hopefully these will include a trip to Anaheim, San Diego, and maybe, just maybe we'll bring him to Dodgers Stadium (I'll write more about my disappointment in Dodgers Stadium in another post). For now, we've got to celebrate the Phillies first win and hope for the same from the Red Sox.
