Take me out to the ball game

Two weekends ago the boys went on a road trip to Boston. Tim, Henry and Xavier packed up the car and hit the road. They met up with some other friends they went to school with to attend the Red Sox vs. Tigers baseball game. I enjoyed a weekend with Gavin. I tried to catch up on sleep and enjoy my baby one one one.

Tim, Xavier, and Henry stayed with our friends Tricia and Andrew. Xavier loved playing with his buddy

Outside Fenway. Tim has this unique obsession with taking panoramic pictures of all the baseball fields we've been to. He was pretty excited about seeing Fenway. So far he's photographed the Giants Stadium, Oakland A's stadium, Tigers stadium, and Fenway. I'm sure the next one will be Yankee Stadium. He just happened to score an amazing ticket from a co-worker to see New York play next week. One day he plans to frame them and hang them somewhere.....we shall see.

Not only is he a BIG brother, but he's a BIG baseball fan!

Andrew, Brian, Tim, Xavier, and Henry all took a tour of Fenway before the game. Who do you think is more excited the little man or the big boys?



The game started at 4pm and Xavier fell right to sleep before it even started. It wasn't until a big play was made during the 4th inning that he woke up.

Xavier and "the big giant" he called it.

Dave (the one who taught Xavier to say "GO SOX!" ever time they see each other) Xavier adores Dave and Dave loves our little man. It's fun to see them playing together.


GO SOX!
If you look close Xavier is clinging to a shiny red baseball. Tim got it for him during the game and somehow Xavier lost it. One of Dave's buddies told Xavier that they had to use it in the game. Most kids would have thought that was really cool right? Oh no, Xavier was angry. He was so devastated that Tim sucked up another $10 to get him another one so that he would still have happy memories of this day. Good job Daddy.

Refreshing after sitting in the sun for 4 hours.

The Tigers lost, but the Red Sox won Xavier's heart that day.
