A weekend (plus some) with Max

Last week I had to go to Wilmington, DE for work and although I really missed my Husband and my own bed, I got to spend time with my crush (whom John refers to as my boyfriend) and the best part was that I didn't have to share him with anyone.

New Port Harbor

Is anyone else ticked that Clay took Chrissy back? Come on people!

Merry Christmas from Max, Auntie Em, & Uncle Cashew

The rest of the family...



Maybe Auntie Em and Uncle John will stick to wearing the candy cane ears next year.

My Very First Tap Recital...as promised

John had to sit with all the soccer moms tonight and watch my tap dance recital. It was a recital for all ages ending with the 2 and 3 year olds. I'm in red.

Meeting Pedro...I mean Max....

This weekend I flew to Maryland to meet the newest member of the family. Max, my new nephew is perfect in every way! I’m pretty sure him and I have the same lips. We spent all weekend snuggling, sleeping, and watching him. I already can’t wait to fly back for Christmas to spend some more time doing the same.

His website has more pictures.

Auntie Em! Auntie Em!

In Tennessee's fair eastern mountains...

Yes, we made the trip...John finally had a chance to see the joy's of a small private college. We had a GREAT time and got to see a lot of dear friends...

Root Root Root...oh to be a Cubs fan!

As luck would have it, we were passed a set of tickets to the Cubs vs Brewers game tonight. The anticipation of the game was mounting over the last week as the 2 teams have battled for first place. The first 6.5 innings I must admit were slower and less exciting then planed. We were down 3 to 1, it was hot and muggy, and the nacho's were gone. In general the crowd was just a little more boring then expected for the big game. As we casually rise for the ever famous 7th inning stretch, we check the board to see who's leading us today...and it was like the whole crowd read it at once...Brewers Hall of Fame broadcaster - Bob Uecker...looks of confusion and disappointment fell on the crowd...then in unison, instead of 'Take me out to the ball game' the whole stadium broke out in boos. So loud you could not even hear 'poor' Bob sing. Boos turned to smiles and laughs...Bob finished, and the press box went dim. A hush came on the stadium, and then in the Cubby spirit it was like we all knew we couldn't continue without the good old tune and soon it spread through out the stand, without a leader, the crowd joined in the famous chorus. From then on, it was a whole new game. We scored 4 in the bottom of the 7th and were on our feet the rest of the game! I have to thoughts about this....either 1, someone is losing there Job at Wrigley tomorrow...or two, and probably most likely, someone is BRILLIANT!


Comment from the Associated Press -
Brewers Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker led the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in the seventh inning as fans at Wrigley Field booed loudly. Once Uecker was finished, the crowd broke into its own rendition of the song.

**Update** IT'S A BOY!

We found out today that Heidi is having a Boy! Yeah!
