Katie Beth, Pockits, and Rocks

Katie Beth, Pockits, and RocksKatie Beth learned pockits are for holding things like rocks. She would keep picking up rocks and filling her pockits.

She had great time and she to learned to hold her mouth open so daddy could look for rocks, which frequented her mouth.

We got to ride our bicycle to the playground.

Allison’s Visited Tonight

Allison's Visited TonightWe had great time tonight with Allison. She joined us for dinner and a movie. We had homemade lasagna with homemade French bread. The movie was Rataouille, which Allison hasn’t seen and Karen has only seen parts due to sleeping through some of it.

Katie Beth enjoyed Allison’s entertainment, which was non-stop from walking in the door to Katie Beth going to sleep.

Double Header Baseball

Well, the rain has finally stopped in Huntsville, Alabama so we are heading out for baseball tonight.

Last night’s game got rained out, which means we get a double header tonight starting at 5:05PM. Why 5:05 instead of 5:00PM? I don’t know, but the Huntsville Stars have always started games at 5 minute past the hour. It could be due to the games being aired on the radio.

Tonight and tomorrow night are the last in town games for this season. We have enjoyed the season with our little Katie Beth, but good things must come to an end. And, our baby needs to stop going to bed around 10:00PM.

We hope to win season tickets during tomorrow’s game. They will be drawing from all the tickets turned in throughout the season for a life time pass. And, they will be drawing for four season tickets based on people who donated to a charity.

Great Beer on my 42nd Birthday

Paulaner SalvatorWe decided to make a beer run on Saturday before my birthday. (Actually, I decided to make a beer run and let Karen have time to herself, but she didn’t want to miss anything so she joined Katie Beth and me.) We headed to Tennessee, because you can’t buy good beer in Alabama due to the dumb beer laws. (see http://www.freethehops.org/)

I picked up a number of beers including Paulaner Salvator, which we have had on draft at the Redstone Arsenal Oktoberfest. We loved it. I was looking forward to trying it, again.

It was great like I remembered. It was a nice birthday gift to myself.
