Father's Day Inter-league Baseball Outing

Inter-league baseball is special in the Bay Area because the Giants (National League) and A's (American League) are right in our backyard.  And Father's Day weekend makes it all the more fun to participate.  So, you can imaging how excited I was to hear I was getting an outing for Father's Day.  Niiicccceeeee!

This time the game was in Oakland at the Coliseum - home of the 6 time world champion A's.

 
Julie and I arrived a bit early - so we had a few minutes to check out the stadium.  I've been there before - but I can't actually remember going to a baseball game at the Coliseum.  So, we walked around the facility.

When we got back to our seats - Hannah and Eric were there!  Surprise!  A very happy one.

Check this lady out.  Unfortunately, I didn't get her name.  But, she turned 100 recently - and they honored her with a ride around the stadium and an opportunity to throw out the first pitch.  This is her underhanding a sweet throw into the catcher.  I hope Julie is that cool when she gets to 100.

Baseball is about the game and the food ;)  So, once the game was underway Julie and Hannah set off to get us some refreshments.  Here she is coming back to our seats with the mother load!

It was beautiful night for baseball.

Except - by the end of the game we were all beating our heads against the wall - much like Pablo Sandoval below.

A final picture.  Hannah was totally jealous of this kid's glasses.  They are sweet!  Maybe a future birthday present ?!?

Family Update via Karen and Andy's Wedding!

I haven't yet communicated with the bride and groom  - and don't like my chances for the next few days :). 

So, I'm not going to post any pictures of the bride and groom.  But, we here at Team Henderson do want to officially congratulate Kandy (Karen + Andy) on their sweet wedding.  We had a blast.

Additionally, we can take advantage of their delightful soiree last Sunday to offer up a little family update. 

Did we mention that Hannah's (finally!) back in California?  Well, after having trekked across Europe and most recently the heartland of America with Eric she (and Eric) arrived back home last Friday.  Clearly, my beautiful daughter is no worse for the wear!  And mom is soooo glad to have her back.

Here's a picture of the usual suspects.  It's rewarding to look at a picture like this and realize that we have been so blessed in our lives.  This picture is a fitting juxtaposition of lifelong friends, family and the new.  We take none of them for granted.

And speaking of new ... I don't think we've had a picture of Julie and Evan and baby James yet.  I guess this one should be titled 'introducing baby bump James Winslow'. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know it seems like 2010/11 was/is all about the Logans.  After all, Julie and Evan got married last December, Tim and Barbara in March and now Karen and Andy in June.  Sadly, I think we've plumb run out of Logans to get married.. but let's just say.. they still look like they're all having fun.

Should we call these 'agony and ecstasy?  Or just super cute?

Where will life take us next?

Is it Microsoft's Fault?

Our weather in California is driving us nuts.  Cold and rainy.  in June?  Who's to blame? 

Is Micro$oft in charge of the seasons in California?
