No, I'm not going to blame Facebook entirely for my Blogger absence. Or the insurance exam I took two weeks ago (and studied like a fiend for). Or the fact that our (pretty brand spankin' new, mind you) computer caught some virus (maybe) and has gone kaput on us, despite frequent re-setting, re-booting, whatever-you-call-'ems.
But all of those things, on top of my being a mom, wife, and well... ME (and those closest to me know that Christina is not the most organized of folks) contribute towards an overall blogging laziness.
Lazy. Lazy. Lazy.
Sometimes I think it's more about just being tired, personally. Tonight, for instance, I drove home thinking about how abandoned this blog is, and I vowed I would write a post. But when I got home, the house was filled with the wonderful scents of homemade, delicious American chop suey. You know, the really, really good kind. And I sat down to eat it, thinking, "Hmmmmm... It'd be a lot easier to just go on Facebook and write Christina is happy and full from her husband's amazing dinner."
But I'm here (double kudos because Blogger erased this entire post and I'm typing it again!!), and I'll give you a quick glimpse into yesterday.
My good friend Jen and her 2-year-old daughter Makenzie treated Casey and I to Casey's first-ever MLB game yesterday! They even showed up at our house with a little pink Phillies hat for Casey to wear, and she sported that thing for the majority of the day. It was the final regular season home game of the year, and the Phillies were playing the Mets (think Sox vs. Yanks type of atmosphere), so the crowd was excited and there was a lot for us to see. The girls patiently sat with us in the seats through the end of the 5th inning, Casey yelling "Gooooooooo!" and even waving her rally towel when she saw other spectators doing it. They gobbled up way too much kettle corn (I was a little paranoid, but no choking occurred, so I guess that means she's allowed to eat popcorn from now on) and took in all the sights of the game.
After the 5th, we escorted Casey and Makenzie to the Phillies Phun Zone where they chased each other (and were chased by other kids), went down the slide (over and over and over again), and really let their steam out so that we could take two "winding down" toddlers home with us. Right before we left, we stopped off at Guest Services, where Casey was presented with her very own "First Phillies Game" certificate.
I know Casey is cute and all. That's a given. And I guess I'm partial to her. But, man oh man, I could not stop staring at that kid yesterday as she walked through the stadium with her little pink hat, white t-shirt, stonewashed jeans, and new sneakers. She was just overwhelmingly adorable, and my heart was full. (The only thing that could have been sweeter was if we were at Fenway, but since this is her hometown, I guess I'll allow Case to cheer for the Phils as her National League team...)
I didn't bring my camera with me, and our computer is void of everything right now (I mean, there's NADA on this system), so you'll have to live with these three meager cell phone shots...

The ponytail on top of her head is awesome! Glad you girls had fun at the game :) I feel like Casey grows soooo much every time I see her! When do I get to see you guys again?
You'll still be staring when she's in her twenties...only she'll be like "stop Mom, that's creepy." lol. She is adorable!
