Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

Chelsea and I decided to attend an Astros game! Turns out she's great at getting autographs and pictures! She is also the newest member of the Kaz Matsui fan club as he smiled and signed tons of things for fans, including a ball Chelsea caught. He also made some great plays in the field and with the bat. We were fortunate enough to see the Astros rally from behind and eventually hang 11 runs on the San Diego Padres (sorry if you're a Padres fan)! We also got autographs from Miguel Tejada and Geoff Blum. Blum hit a home run to right field and Tejada had 4 hits to become the only Astro in about 13 years to have back to back 4 hit games (a feat my favorite Jeff Bagwell did in 1995). Anyway, we had a blast at Minute Maid Park thanks to half price ticket night, and Play Green Night (hence the green caps)!

Oh, and we've forgotten to mention Discovery Green Park in downtown Houston. When we went to the International Festival we walked about a mile from the ballpark to the festival. On our way we came across the park, which has been open for about 2-3 weeks. If you're downtown, and it's daylight, you should check it out! It's located near Walker Street at the George R. Brown and the Hilton. Definitely worth a stop, as Houston added a much needed green space!

We are bidding our time as we wait to hear back of our approval from CIS. Although I must say, for those of you who have waited 12+ months for any adoption, you have our utmost respect! I don't think either of us have an idea of that kind of wait. Keep up your great attitude and God Bless all of you in the rest of your adoption process. As for us, we keep pressing on for the upward call, as we develop and fine tune patience.
