Two A Daze

Well I survived Two-A-Days practices at my new high school, Parkway South. The kids and coaches are all great, but the heat was terrible! We had heat indexes upwards of 101 every day and had to cancel practices and delay a scrimmage due to too high heat. Thankfully now it's been in the 80's - much nicer. Tomorrow we kick off football season with a Jamboree and then next week it's our first regular season game against Saint Louis University High School. (A very big deal, here in MO.)

It's BOW-CHEE not BOTCH-EE

It's BOW-CHEE not BOTCH-EE, is the slogan on the shirt for Milo's Bocce Garden. Jen and I checked out the pub this weekend and it was a lot of fun. Decent bar/Italian food and a good selection of beers. Plus there are two covered bocce courts in a garden. Playing bocce on a court is so much better than the backyard! I'll probably continue to mispronounce "BOTCH-EE" though :)

A Great Game!

Jen scored some tickets to the Card's game against the Braves on Sunday so me and a few friends got to enjoy an afternoon of baseball. It was a great game! We were pretty frustrated all the way up to the bottom of the ninth since the Card's were down 3 to 1. They were able to load the bases and then David Eckstein won the game with a grand slam home-run!!! It was awesome. If you want to see some more pictures go to my friend Russ' site to check them out.

Baby's Heartbeat

Today I had my first official OB visit. A little later than most people I guess, but I had been in at 5 and 8 weeks for ultrasounds so they knew everything was OK. Baby is doing great! I got to hear the heartbeat with the Doppler - it was so awesome! It's funny though how it sounds like a washing machine swishing and not like your heartbeat through a stethoscope. So I go back for my next visit at 15 weeks on September 1st. The next visit after that, we'll be able to tell if it's a boy or a girl!!!
