The Obsession of Fear
We took the boys to the Orioles game on Tuesday night. It was completly spontanous which makes it so much fun. I think some people looked at us like we were crazy, but oh what a memory. Brady loves baseball and was very excited, until he saw the Oriole mascot - then he was thrilled. He kept saying "see bird, see bird". The bird went away during the beginning of the game but returned around the 2nd inning. Brady went nuts, so Tony (or Big Dad as Brady calls him) - took him over to see him and get a picture. When Tony got close it was only seconds before Brady's fears overtook him and he bagan to cry. He was slightly tramatized but by the time he got back to me he wanted to see the bird again. At the 7th inning stretch the bird was about 300 ft. away from us and Brady's "see bird" plee turned into a scared whimper. It's so funny how kids can become obsessed with things that scare them. Like they are trying to overcome their fear and then change their mind. Sometimes I am so that way. I want to do the things I am afraid of until it comes time to actually do them. This Greece thing is going to be one of those times, but there is no turning back now - we will see the bird.

Entering the blogging world.
Here I am late Monday night entering into the wonderful world of blogging. I guess partly because I need the disipline to write stuff down and partly because I love to look back and see how I've grown. But I guess mostly because I just want to be cool. :) just joking.
