Happy Independence Day! To celebrate, our little family made the journey to Coors Field to watch the Rockies play. Afterall, what is more American than baseball?

This was Rylan's first (& likely only) game of this season. He did a great job but we take our baseball pretty seriously and Rylan was a SERIOUS distraction. He clapped and danced and cooed through 8 innings. Then the heat, noise, and lack of nap set in and so we wisely made our exit. Luckily we made it home just in time to watch 7 more innings on tv. After much struggle and consternation the Rockies took the Giants after 15 innings!

At the end of a great day the little guy went down early and Ben and I enjoyed a nice steak off the grill. Currently it sounds as though the house is being shelled...but the boy still sleeps!
Today (and everyday) I am grateful for my home, my family, my independence, and my country. Happy 4th.
