This weekend, Justin and I went to Houston to watch my brother-in-law, David, play baseball. It was the University of Houston's opening weekend. Saturday was really special because David got to catch the "first pitch" from a little girl that he met at Texas Children's Hospital while undergoing his treatments for Leukemia. The little girl's name is Lizzie and she also had Leukemia, however, like David, is cancer free now! Lizzie is four years old and is just so precious. Here are some photos of Lizzie and David warming up before the game, getting Lizzie comfortable out on the field.
Some children from Texas Children's made signs for David and a whole bunch of nurses and doctors came out to support David and hold up the signs. We were so glad to see David play third base. Last year, he was unable to play due to all of the time spent at the hospital and side effects from his chemo. He is doing great now and we look forward to watching him play all season. Next weekend, they play at Minute Maid Park!

This was a great post. I am going to have to get Aidan and come out to some games with you guys. Theresa can probably use the time to herself after Logan is here. Look forward to seeing some games.
