Go Astros!

Finley made it to her second Astros game of the season on Saturday night, thanks to cousin Faith's perfect attendance (free tickets!)  The Astros were taking on the best team in baseball, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.  I know that they are just "The Rays" now, but it is a habit.  They are having an amazing season, the exact opposite of the Astros year.  The Astros scored first, but went on to lose the game.  Finley did good in her chair for a bit, but she was much happier free.  We had a scary moment when she tried to sit on the chair back of the seat in front of us.  My quick reflexes (HA!) enabled me to grab her before she toppled over the seat back.  It was a tense moment there for a minute.  She loved to watch the train, especially when Lance Berkman hit a homerun and the train started moving.  She cheered and she booed, sometimes at the right time, sometimes not.  Her size 9 month onesie still fits, hopefully we can stretch it for this entire season.  I went to the gift shop and saw that the toddler Astros shirt and shorts were $46.  The three onesies she has now were $7 at Marshalls, so I have to keep my eye out for another good deal.  Most importantly, Finley wore the baseball bow I had made for her.  The ribbon was kindly given by Uncle Larry's Bearfax.
