College World Series pictures

Here are some pics from our College World Series experience a couple of weeks ago. We went with Christi, Adam, Jack, and Lisa (Christi's sister) to watch Arizona St & Texas. Christi and Lisa's Dad is the President of the College World Series so clearly we had a few 'perks'. We got to sit behind home plate...I literally got to sit in THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE! We got into the VIP club seating for dinner (and all the Coca-Cola I could drink, parking pass, access into the CWS Press Box where I crossed paths with ESPN announcer Mike Patrick, and got to throw out the first pitch (okay, I lied about that...I got a little carried away). It was a great time and loved every minute of it!

Unexpected House Guest

Saturday night, June 20th, Jill, Alex, and I came home from the Lakehouse while the other two stayed overnight with Grandma Barb & Papa Jim.

After talking in the kitchen for a few minutes (having already put Alex down in his crib) Jill and I had an unexpected house guest waiting to welcome us home. I thought at first it was a large moth flying by the light throwing a large shadow...turns out it was a bat (not necessarily the same as the one picture). Jill hit the floor screaming with a towel over her head...while I calmly studied the situation. Hey its my blog, I will tell the story as I want to.

After flying a few laps around the kitchen, dining room, living room, and entry way in which Jill went screaming from the front door which brought our neighbor over to hold our front door open...he saw the bat buzz my head which caused me to land on my backside after several swings with a broom. Finally, it flew out the front door.

Apparently Omaha, Nebraska has a large bat population for an urban population. As one might imagine, I hope that is our last encounter with a winged house-guest.

It's about time for some picture updates

Here are some recent pictures for those who are not on Facebook. I have the kids on Father's Day, Jill & I sitting behind homeplate at the College World Series (Arizona St. & Texas), and 1st Birthday cake in my hair for Father's Day.
