Getting Ready

It still hasn't totally sunk in that in one week I will be going back to work. At first, I had trouble with all the free time that my maternity leave afforded me, but now that I've gotten used to it, I'm not sure how it's going to be once it's gone! When will I take long afternoon naps? When will I drive to friend's houses just to walk around the neighborhood? When will spend hours organizing and admiring Sophia's clothes that she hasn't grown into yet? When will we have sing-a-longs to the Sound of Music?

Another benefit of all my free time is that I can just do things. Yesterday evening, Stephen, Sophia and I went to a local AAA baseball game and I had just picked up the tickets in the afternoon (they were giving them away on post as part of a "Soldier's Day Out").  It was a very nice stadium, and a great evening. We took some pictures that may be my favorite family pictures to date:

 

We had a lot of fun with Sophia and she had a lot of people saying how cute she was. But how could they not?

The game ran a bit late (12 innings!) so what started as a happy baby was a bit tired and hot by the end of it all.

 

 But we still had a great time. I'm glad we get to have this family summer fun!
