Red Sox at Camden Yards

When the Red Sox rolled into Baltimore for a series, we just had to go. Joe's office had a large group that spent Friday night catching the action at Camden Yards.



Emma rode up from Ashburn with Alex and Jen. Apparently they yapped the entire car ride.



The girls playing around a bit.



Oh those silly girls.



Emma and Russ hanging out.



Jen & Alex strike a pose.



Another shot of Russ & Emma.



Now that is wacky.

Baby shower at the Yates'

The Yates & Kerri were kind enough to through us a baby shower for the pending adoption. It felt more like a party than a baby shower...



Those darn cute kids - Emma, Ethan, and Alex.



The fellas - Steve, Dave, & Dave.



Ry-Ry and Alex go for a spin.



Pretty ladies - Lisa, Kerri, and Melissa.

Dave always wanted a fluffy white lap dog.

Joe visits Scottsbluff

Joe had a business trip to Colorado Springs and was able to get home to Scottsbluff for a Mother's Day - to the surprise of all. It was good to see Gma Nance, Gma Pat, and Aunt Kay. While Gma Pat was having some challenges, she was in pretty good spirits.


Gma Pat & Joe.

Great Country Farms

What better way to spend an afternoon with near perfect weather than hanging out at Great County Farms.


Alex gets ready for her day at the farm.



Feeding the goats.

Alex loved this. We were picking corn kernels out of her clothes and the washing machine for a week.



Where is Alex?



It wouldn't be Great Country Farms without riding the cow barrels.
