CHI & THE D-BACKS

Had a great time in Phoenix at the CHI AZ adoption picnic and the Diamondbacks game! We got to meet Marianne, our adoption agent, and it was awesome to see so many other families who had adopted internationally. Two of the couples had adopted from Ethiopia and we are seriously considering that country next. Their boys were beautiful! Nate was pretty shy around everyone but he still had a fun time and got a white teddy bear as a gift.

The D-backs game was a lot of fun too...especially since we won! Nate did pretty well. We had to let him run through the halls a couple of times to get the wiggles out and he only cried once during the 8th inning because he was getting tired. Other than that, he did really well and the loud noise didn't even phase him. He even clapped and tried to whistle like dad! He also had his first corn dog (or hot dog for that matter) and was a pro munching on it without help, down to the last bite. Then he wanted to eat nachos and was so careful to dip it in the cheese and ask for a napkin when his hands got too sticky. What a champ!
