This morning during my daily round of news gathering, I stumbled on this article about a promotion done by the Brooklyn Cyclones, the short-season A ball affiliate of the New York Mets - Cyclones celebrate expectant moms "Bellies and Baseball" night includes Lamaze class, craving station. I had to laugh. Only at a minor league ball park would you see this!
Along other fronts, McKenzie and I are bachelorettes for a few days while Josh is on the road in Gwinnett, Georgia. We will meet him Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina where we will be staying with his aunt and uncle and their two kids. I told McK we were going to go see Seth and Soren in a few days, forgetting that a 2 year old conceives time solely in PAST and PRESENT. Big mistake. Every few hours she asks me when she is going to see "Seth and Sowen" and every few hours I have to explain what day-after-tomorrow means. We are so excited to be able to see and stay with family! We miss everyone so much during the season.
In the mean time, we are trying to keep ourselves busy. Yesterday we went to the Virginia Zoo. McKenzie liked the animals, but she was far more interested in the fountain play area in the center of the zoo. We saved that treat for last. She was sopping wet when we left. This morning we dragged ourselves out of bed early (7 o'clock is EARLY in baseball) and ran to catch the ferry to downtown Norfolk.
The MacArthur Center Mall (named after General MacArthur) was hosting a special kids event at California Pizza Kitchen, where for $6 kids got to tour the kitchen and make and eat their own personal pizzas. While it seemed a bit out of whack to be eating pizza at 10 in the morning, McKenzie didn't mind a bit and happily devoured her Hawaiian pizza with great gusto.
She is already down for her nap and I think I might sneak in a doze myself. I don't ever sleep well when Josh is gone; between too much coffee and bad dreams I only logged about four hours last night. When we wake-up, we need to go get the oil changed. The trusty 4-Runner is still going strong at over 182,000 miles. I have fun pictures of the last few days. I'll try to post them later.
Ta, ta for now!
