Eva's first Cardinals Game

On Sunday 9/15, we took the kids to see the Cardinal's play the Mariners. This was our first time to take both of them. It was an afternoon game, which interfered with Samuel's nap. I didn't know how they would do, so we got cheap seats so it wouldn't be a big loss if we had to leave early.  The bleachers are a nice place to sit if you have kids with you. They offer a little more leg room, and there is more space underneath the seats to tuck your belongings away than in the regular seats.

As for finding healthy food at the ballpark - there is one vendor that sells fresh deli sandwiches and fruit, but it wasn't close at all to our seats. I've found that it is simpler to pack my own food. I took apple and an orange for a snack. I took bottled Diet Lipton Tea to drink.  I'm glad that the fan are allowed to bring their own food inside the stadium. It makes a trip to the ballpark more affordable, and it keeps me from stressing over finding something that I won't regret eating.

A worried little Cardinal's fan. He was getting tired. Just one more out and then we can go home with a win! The Cardinals won 12-2.

What we've been up to

This has been a busy week between working and getting read for Easter weekend.  We had squeezed some fun things in though.  On Saturday, James and I went antiquing.  I'm surprised that he agreed to go, but he found something he wanted.

It's an official game ball from the 1979 All-Star game.  It was held in Seattle that year.  I had hoped to find some furniture for the basement, but I didn't.  I did find an ottoman at Target later that day, so that made up for it.

I've been making bookmarks from some of my original photos.  Here's a couple of them.  Pic is not great.  I didn't have time to keep taking pics of them today.  The both have a bible verse on them.  The one with the butterfly on it has Psalm 104:24 

How many are your works, O LORD!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures. (NIV)

The one with the sleeping bear has Matthew 11:28.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (ESV)

I'm going to have some up on Etsy for sale in a week or two.

Have a wonderful Easter as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord!
