As many of you will know it was Opening Day at the new Yankee Stadium on the 16th of April.
Jan and Ian can tell you all about it.
If you want to know what un-diluted, pure happiness looks like – just check out their faces. (And this was despite the score Indians 10, Yanks 2)
Well here in our quaint town of Madison, NJ we celebrated opening day for our little league.
It was stink’n awesome.
The boys and girls paraded through our main street. It was the only parade I have been to where the people in the parade who throw the candy are also the ones who grab up the candy. Riddle me that one, if you can.
We had great, curb side seats (as in right on the curb) where we cheered on some of Madison’s finest sons, Porter and Braxton Rich. Their lovely mother, Emily, is seated beside me, in her lap is my future son-in-law, Hudson Jack Rich. (He likes the middle name mentioned, thankyouverymuch.)
Afterwords we headed home to play a little ball of our own.
Clara was more of a spectator.
Millie took time out from playing to give the camera some “attitude”
Eno, does this one slay you as much as it does me?! Check out that sisterly affection while wearing the world’s greatest baseball team logo.
Jan doesn’t need any sons to fulfill his baseball needs…
And yes, I was there too

Throwing AND picking up the very candy you throw? What could possibly be better for a baseball playing young boy! I LOVE the motion shot of Millie playing baseball, as well as Jan and his Yankee lovin’ girls. And you’re right – that one of Millie and Clara givin’ eachother some sisterly/Yankee love is too tremendous! I love it all – the blog, the pictures, the commentary! I will come back as often as you post (which I’m hoping will be daily!)
