For Uncle Jason

It didn't turn out in the picture due to the white lettering on a pink sweatshirt, but Brenna is also wearing Dodger gear.

Misunderstanding

Every Thursday Christina and I go to our small group Bible study which starts at 6 pm. Tonight the ending of the Dodger game was around 6 pm. I spent as much time as I could watching the game at home (through the top of the 9th) and listened to the bottom of the 9th on our drive. When we arrived at our destination the Dodgers were down to their last out.

Christina had no interest in sitting in the car with me to listen to the end of the game, so she went inside to talk to all the women about babies and our new announcement. Around the same time, a fellow Dodger fan pulled up so we listened together as the Dodgers started an unbelievable two out rally. After Loretta had the game winning hit we went inside joining the talk about our soon to be little girl, where the following exchange happened with a lady in our small group:

Sharece - (patting me on the back) "Congratulations, Jimmie."
Me - "Thanks, I can't believe the Dodgers pulled out that win."
Sharece - (silent, with a stunned look on her face)

Of course I am writing this as I watch the bottom of the 9th on the DVR.

Opening Day

(Note: Dillon was introduced to the awesomeness of Pez last night. Here he is showing off his Dodgers Baseball Pez dispenser.)

Poor Baby

It's not easy posting when you have a teething, feverish baby sitting on your lap. However, I will try to string together some thoughts, links, and pictures.

You might think the title of this post is about Dillon but really it is about Barry Bonds pulling an 0 for 12 against the Dodgers this past weekend. James and I went to the final game of the series yesterday.

I think I brought up the fact that the Dodgers were in first place and the Giants were in last one too many times.

Happy Gilmore was the most watched movie in our dorm room during my four years of college. (A distant second was Office Space.) I was very delighted when my old roomie found this. Anyone reading can feel free to purchase one for me.

I can add it to my collection of shirts bought online.

Speaking of Dana, his better half, Julie, has started her own blog.

Christina took some cute pictures of Dillon the other day. I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I will just show you both of them.

Finally, here is one guy's take on the new Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer. If you don't know what Metal Gear Solid is then don't even bother with the video.

Where's Dillon?

Obviously Dillon is a lot cuter than Waldo, though Waldo has been seen in one more Mel Gibson movie than Dillon.
Dillon's hair is really starting to grow. According to my mom, I had curls only on the side too. Last night Dillon started crawling on his hands and knees. He has been army crawling for the past couple of weeks but for some reason he decided to go with the more conventional method of crawling.

Last night's championship game was very disapointing. Usually you can count on One Shining Moment to be excellent but not so last night. Of course, the CBS crew didn't have much to work with since there were no major upsets or buzzer beating shots. Go here if you want to fill your One Shining Moment hunger with the past ten years of the best sports song ever at one site. Beware of the overproduction in 2002 though.

All you Lost fans can check out this cool website that has obituaries of everyone that has died on the show.

I have a bad feeling that any ball hit into left and center against the Dodgers will be a double thanks to the weak throwing arms of Luis Gonzalez and Juan Pierre.
