Ari and Big Papi

It really was pretty cool to have Big Papi in Portland


some of his biggest fans were there

but really... it was the little guy at the end of the line who stole our hearts.

Here you can see him watching. he is to the right of the dugout wearing a batting helmet

and here is doing his best to ignore the giant man walking by him. He like to keep it cool.

When ever he ran onto the field the crowd went nuts. at least our row and a bunch of his friends who were at the game.

we now know for sure that nobody picks up bats and delivers ball like my boy he's a true SUPERSTAR

I will eventually post photo's of the Ari/Ortiz game. i have having some camera problems. problems meaning it is broken and I have to send it to Nikon to be fixed. mildly stressful. 

I am sure I have more to report. but not now.... it's 12:20am.. I can't sleep but not awake enough to think.

night

Unbelievable

when in Hannafords I entered Aidan, Ari and G in a contest to be the bat boy for the Sea Dogs. 

Well... this evening we heard that Aaron won. He will be the bat boy for the Sea Dogs on Tuesday.  A NIGHT BIG PAPI IS PLAYING!!!

this is so very big. 

How awesome is this

for non Portland people... this is my friend Karen's cover photo.

And today's downer is.....

Trader Joes = German Walmart. It's owned by Aldi Group .


On a brighter note... Ari is spreading his love of origami. I picked him up from his metalsmith camp yesterday and saw kids walking out with origami pieces. He was giving mini lessons.

sad bowe boys

David Ortiz is playing in Portland on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of July. I just tried to get my boys tickets but they are already sold out. sadness....

Here is a photo of Aidan's all-star jersey. 

I had a dream I was pushing a chunky little baby girl in a swing. she was so very cute... I was play biting her knees to make her laugh. Joelle's baby (Benji) is due in 3 weeks but the ultrasound said boy. odd....

Doesn't J.T. look like he is about to tell nick and roger that he is leaving the band for the love of  his life.  See, He has been searching ever since he saw a glimpse of her at a concert in New England. And to think he finally found her in Florence Italy. What a world!
