J's Birthday: Celebrated.

This weekend, we celebrated J's birthday by embracing our childlessness and venturing into the city for hang-out time with friends and a baseball game. (Note: J's birthday isn't until August, but the Reds and Mets didn't want to change their schedule just to fit in with our birthday plans, so the celebration had to take place early.) Fourteen of our baseball-loving friends and family joined us for Czech food and fun at Bohemian Hall and the Mets vs. Reds at Shea Stadium. Even though the Reds didn't pull out a victory, we still had a great time. As I've thought to myself at all of our big events this year, maybe this time next year the baby will be here... :) But, I must admit, I only thought that for a minute yesterday. There wasn't much time for dwelling on adoption issues or even envisioning what it might be like to deal with a tired child during an evening baseball game. (smile.)
Yes, that is a large Kielbasa and rye bread. Mmm, Czech delicacies.
J keeps score. This year he got himself a score keeping book and has charted all of the games that he has been to during the summer. We might have made fun of him for being a nerd, but I secretly think it's kind of cool.
Thanks to all of the friends who attended, facilitated, and had a good time.
In real news: Happy birthday to our friend (and current roommate):
S. B. (eaux). Glad to know you and hope it is a great year.

WOw! Looks like fun! Wish we could have been there! But dad did keep up with the game knowing that you were there! Next year we can take turns passing CD up and down the row feeding her stuff and kissing her during the game! She will be the best Reds fan there is! Love you both gma cc
I, for one, thought frequently about what it would have been like to be at an evening game with a tired child...and was glad that we left her with friends! :-) We had a great time. Happy early birthday Justin!
Your dad and I wish we could have been there, too! The Reds did sweep the Braves this week though! Can't wait to take our grandbaby to a ballgame - she/he will be fine - seen lots of babies at ballgames and they enjoy the festivities :)
Have a Happy Birthday - I will be remembering 27 years ago when you took your time coming into this world :)
Love,
MOM aka - grandmama Burton; aka - Grandma Diane :)
