First, first, first... Go Giants!

Not even 11 weeks old and we're rollin to Giants Opening Day. What a life!

Today, Marco enjoyed many firsts... first BART ride, first stroller valet parking and first Giants game. He slept or cried (boo Padres) through most of the day, cuddled up in the Bjorn or wondering why it was so WINDY.

Of course, we ran into most of St. Ignatius HS alum and about 40,000 fans toasted Marco with Take Me Out To The Ballgame and Miller Lites. He was minding his own business in his only hoody sweatshirt which happens to be blue, when he was accused of being a Dodgers fan. Of course, he erupted in a crying fit. Poor baby. Otherwise, Marco seemed to enjoy it all and spent most of the day taking it in.
Times they are a'changin. Here are Jeff and Chuck pushing their strollers.
We ran into Colin and Mike Mulry. Great to see them, I mean, since dinner on Friday. We got Marco a certificate to proclaim his first Giants game, but Colin showed him up with a personalized baseball bat. Darn!
BARTing (it's a verb) with the D'Angelos. DO NOT tell Brooke they went to the Giants game.
Marco is inducted to the punk rock Giants fan club. The orangehawk asked if he could flip off the camera. Notice Marco's tiny fauxhawk. HA!
His favorite part of the day was being changed in the bathroom under the flourescent lights and being put in this sweatshirt.
Here he is in his Giants garb. Thanks to Aunt Darcy and Uncle Kevin for the Giants shirt, Jeanne and Bill Barulich for the orange pants and Niko for the Giants socks, which kept falling off, so we had to switch to the orange runners from the D'Angelos. The Padres winning evokes actual tears.
I heart BART.

I assume you used "photoshop" to make the sky blue?

"Times they are a'changing" Love it! Yes, things are different, but also the same. Marco seems to fit perfectly into your lives! And what a beautiful day! I agree with my Dad, you must have used photoshop!

we have a Giants outfit I'll have to give to Marco. I forget what size it was but Tommy never even wore it. Someone didn't think about what size he would be during baseball season. I'll find it and send it your way, if it will fit him this season. Looks like you had a lot of fun!

Love the punk picture. Marco is so hard-core.

If you could squint your eyes enough to bare the wind, you'd notice the blue sky. It's not Oregon!

We have blue sky in Oregon....once.
Go Ducks. Cute Marco--the littlest Giant fan--there should be a prize.

--Photoshopping the red-eye in Marco's pictures took the blue OUT!
