Farewell to the Metrodome

Tonight Peter and I went to see what may very well be our last ever Twins game at the Metrodome.  As those of you in the Twin Cities probably know, the Twins will be playing in the brand new Target Field come next summer.  We got to see a fantastic game and spend a whole 5 hours baby free!  (Thanks to Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Chris for watching Alethea.)

While we’re excited about outdoor baseball coming to Minnesota next summer, it is a little sad to see the dome go since Peter and I have had lots of fun dating memories there.  At a time like this, I feel it’s only fitting to say, “Goodbye Metrodome with your horrible acoustics and bad seating layout.  Thanks for the memories.”

Profound Peter

Quote from Peter that seems more true every day:

“Raising a child is like playing Whack-A-Mole.  Just when you solve one problem, another one pokes its little head out of its hole.”

Happy Birthday Peter!

Happy 27th Birthday!  Now you are as old as I am!

Thank you for being a wonderful husband and an amazing father.  I know that when you read this you will roll your eyes at me for being so cheesy, but I have to say that you are the best thing that ever happened to me and I don’t know what I would do without you!  I love you!

You think you know someone…

So Peter and I went to Pad Thai in Saint Paul this evening to get some spicy food for dinner.  As usual the food was excellent and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

After dinner we went for a walk down Summit Avenue to admire the houses.   As we passed one house we saw this in the window:

I laughed outloud.  Right there in the front window of a classy house on Summit Avenue was the leg lamp made infamous in the film “A Christmas Story”.  I pointed it out to Peter, but can you believe, he didn’t know what I was talking about?  I said, “you know, Ralphy and the Red Ryder BB Gun and ‘You’ll shoot your eye out!’?”  And Peter said, “huh?”

Now I know Peter isn’t sentimental and he avoids holiday themed movies, but seriously?  He’s never seen one of the most classic Christmas movies of all time!  I thought every child of the 80s had seen “A Christmas Story”.  I think I’ll have to remedy his cultural education at some point.
