First Baseball Game & A Laughing Lady

Two big milestones in the Baranko household.  We took Lukers to his FIRST ever baseball game and Miss Claire revealed her adorable laugh.  Both events were super cute.  Other than that, just another week of fun for us in this charmed life we lead:)

All ready to go!  White Sox hat, shirt and black & white shoes that Luke now calls his "baseball" shoes.  Thank goodness Nathan and Ben Sosne were Sox fans, or else Luke wouldn't have anything to wear to his big game:)

Luke enjoyed all the ballpark faves, like hot dogs and popcorn.  

We spent most of the game chasing him around the ballpark, especially the ramps.  We spent about 4 minutes in our seats:)  Look at the pretty skyline we saw from the top walking ramp.

He doesn't like to hold hands either, so we basically just followed him around and made sure he didn't walk into anyone.  That's me with my essential ball park beer trailing after him.  What's the good thing about a week day afternoon Sox game on a cold day in April?  Not many crowds.

Bahahahahaha!  That ceiling fan is hilarious!

We had a sunny, nice day on Monday so I took Luke to a new park after his
gymnastics class.

This park also had hiking trails.  Mommy & Luke time is the best:)  

Singing his ABC's to Claire, except then he tried to put all of his weight on the swing.

Something else funny must have happened.  Are you winking at me, lady?

Hi big girl!

My view from the couch:)

Playdate with former work friend Kim and her kids Charlotte & Cole

Cole is a 2 yr old like Luke, he would prefer not to wear pants

4 yr old Charlotte was supremely obsessed with Claire.  As cute as she was, it made me a little grateful that Luke has such limited interest in Claire.  It was hard work making sure Charlotte didn't literally smother Claire with love!

Pretty baby wore this dress to her playdate.

Saturday night Matt and I went to a Derby themed fundraiser/party for Luke's new preschool, Kinderhaven.  He starts next fall, but the fundraising started immediately, ha!  We had a great time meeting other parents and I liked wearing my big hat.  Matt's wearing his new seersucker shirt and  I was happy to get another use out of my new "in between sizes" dress, too.  Thanks for babysitting both kids Donna and Emil!

Smiley pants!

It is exhausting being so smiley.
