Tonight we went to the Express baseball game, which they lost, but we had fun with Leslie, Emma and Camden.  It seems we've brought cloudy skies and a breeze to Texas.cloudy and windy at the game and threatening rainI just have to be quick to get a picture of Camden. He's constantly on the move.  You notice that he's reaching for his mama's hand.  NOT!!going to the ball game!!
