Well one thing is for sure, the Cubbies really stepped up to the plate for Elsa's first trip to the "big show". Granted they were playing the Washington Nationals, who actually lost to the Greenbelt Tee-Ball Team during spring training but hey, we'll take a win anyway we can get it.
The game started out a bit rough as there was a nap delay, unfortunately no one informed Major League Baseball so we missed the first 3 and a half innings. Thankfully, the excitement started as soon as Elsa arrived. At the top of the 4th inning the Cubs scored 8 runs! Elsa was ecstatic, ok, she didn't even notice the field, but she was very excited to see all of the people and was sure they were all cheering for her.
We left the game at the 7th inning stretch but the Cubbies went on to win 11-3. We excpect a contract to be in the mail tomorrow for Elsa's good luck charm services, though she's only available for day games since her bed time is still 7:00.
We were lucky enough to get to spend time with Gavin, Susan and Carter this weekend. Carter is such a sweet kid and is growing up so fast.
He did a really good job sharing his cars with Elsa and showing her how to play in the dirt. She crawled around in the grass and didn't seem to mind it tickling her feet.
Of course, besides playing with Carter, the best part of the weekend was charming Uncle Gavin.
Elsa loves to play. And now that she can go get toys herself there is really no stopping her. Her favorite toys seem to be Dalasi's at this point. Next up on the to-do list for mommy and daddy is baby-proofing the house!

Elsa took her second trip on a plane this past weekend to attend Alli's wedding. She got to meet more of Sara's family, ham it up at the wedding, dance with her daddy and enjoy a quick trip to Madison in the summer...doesn't get much better than that!
Elsa spent her first 4th of July visiting with her buddy Novie and her parents. She didn't make it to the fireworks this year - she still goes to bed like clock work at 7pm. We were not able to convince the organizers of the fireworks on the Mall to bump up the time for her so she's calling Obama tomorrow to complain.
