Sami's Ohio Debut

Melanie and Sami visited us this past week for Sami's first visit to Ohio.

Sami, who will be eight months old later this month, delighted us all with his warm-hearted demeanor, curiosity and energy. He is now an accomplished crawler and we could see the beginnings of his ability to walk (encouraged by GB).

Among the household items which caught Sami's interest in particular were our kitchen cupboard doors and some candles in our living room fireplace.

On April 9, family gathered to meet Sami for the first time.

We were sad to see Melanie and Sami return to Florida. We thoroughly enjoyed their visit. We look forward to many more such visits!

Melanie's friend, Maggie, and son Collin, dropped by to visit.

Sami stopped by the offices of Coast to Coast Equipment to check out the latest model.

Opening Day in Cleveland!

It must be Spring because the Indians are playing baseball again. We attended the home opener. The "we" was a contingent from Coast to Coast Equipment, including Carly and Tiffany. Although a bit on the chilly side, our seats were in the warm sun for most of the game--right off first base thanks to Carly's outstanding seat selection skills. It was a home run type of day for us Tribe fans even though the Indians lost. They delivered an impressive offensive display late in the game to almost beat the White Sox.

Here are a few scenes from the opening ceremony which honored the late great pitcher Bob Feller, number 19. The Tribe players will be wearing a commemorative patch in his honor all season long.
