Rangers game

Ashley, Jordan, my Dad, Jason, and I went to a Rangers game this weekend. We had seats close to first base and were in the shade the entire time (thankfully). It was fun to watch Josh Hamilton, the Rangers right fielder. If you haven't heard his story, he was a baseball phenom. He is one of the best hitters in the league, but he had become a drug addict and almost ruined his career. Over the past few years, he overcame his addiction and gives all credit to Jesus. You can read his story at http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2926447. It is truly a touching and inspirational story and I really hope he can continue down the right path.

At the game we enjoyed $8 hot dogs, $6 drinks (next time we'll go to Pappadeux beforehand and at least get a good meal for $40- ha!), and my Dad even caught a foul ball. You can see pictures on Ashley's blog http://ajp2007.blogspot.com/ (... I'm too lazy to download any right now).

Oops, he didn't win. Jordan thought he heard that he won on the radio.

We would love to keep Kennedy. That will get us prepared for baby life with Cooper!
