Hope springs eternal here in Chicagoland. Even after suffering an opening day loss to the lowly Pirates, 6-3, I am still looking forward to this season. Perhaps it is because for the first time in the last several years there are no expectations of grandeur. Baseball is back and life is good! As one lifelong Cub fan said on the bus leaving the ball park, "Being a Cubs fan teaches you how to handle losses in life." So true! The highlight of the day may well have been Robert Redford throwing out the first pitch. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
Getting Ready.

YA!!!! I am so excited! I wish Chase and I could enjoy a game with you before we move to AZ!
I want to be there to see Robert Redford. He is "the natural" after all. How fun!
I think after (or maybe before) the pageant we should all go to a game! =D
