Go 'Stros

Earlier this month The Odoms called to invite us for a fun day with the Astros (and the Odoms of course) It was faith and family night at the Astros game and the more we talked about it, the more plans we made. The game started at 6:00 But the Faith and Family portion started at 3:00ish and we would definitley need lunch before that. James made reservations downtown at the original Ninfas restaurant. This was the first Ninfa's restaurant in the Houston area before it became popular and turned into a chain. The Mexican food was great! The chips and queso, even better. As you can see Tate is really enjoying his beans and rice. I'm glad no one took a picture of me with my plate. It would have been embarassing.

Now this is a site to behold......Just Dads and Kids..... where are the moms? (Well someone has to take the pictures)
We're a little embarassed to admit that we've lived here 7 years and this is our first game as a family. David took Zane once a few years ago. But they sat so high,(in the cheap seats) that Zane asked David why the players were as big as ants?

Part of the Faith and Family night was a testimony by Lance Berkman and then a small concert but none other than our favorite artist SCC. (Steven Curtis Chapman) He talked a lot about the loss of Maria. One of the most profound statements I heard him say was that "he knows less now about God and his ways. But the things about God he does know he is more certain of them than ever"
He sang several of our favorite songs and at one point Trent told us that Mia and I were on the Jumbotron. Of course by the time he told me, we were off.

Mia loved making goofy faces to get baby Abby to laugh.
The night wasn't all fun and games. At one point the parents did some negotiating and we arranged the future marriages of Tate and Mia. We all agree.... I'm sure Tate and Mia will one day also.
