Wiped Out, New Photos, Etc.

As the title of this blog says... we're a bit wiped out. As I write this BJ is sleeping in the hammock in the back yard (and the cats are sleeping on the carpet in the sun - it's the definition of a restful moment). A couple hours ago we got back from spending the weekend with over 50 high school students out at camp. We had a really great time, but sleep doesn't happen much at camp so now we're just taking it easy and coming to grips with the fact that we have to get up bright and early and go to work. :)

When we got back we found that we had two trees delivered from the Arbor Day Foundation, so now we have a new maple and douglas fir in the yard. We can't wait for our yard to get finished so we can create our landscaping around the house.

As promised, here's some pictures from BJ's birthday! We took a gazillion pictures at the game... here's just a few. Here's BJ with one sportscaster moving out of the shot...



Here's how BJ and I compare on vertical jumping skills...



Here's a shot we took from right field. Is it me our does Ryan Freel seem a little uncomfortable with this hug from Josh Hamilton...?



Here's the "Reds" cake I made for BJ...
