The Giants are the World Champions!

The Giants won the World Series, they are the best baseball players in the world right now!
Today we headed up to San Francisco for the "Parade of Champions", a parade with all the players and the whole Giants organization that started in the financial district and ended at Civic Center where the Giants received a key to the city. We were so lucky and hit virtually no traffic and found a fairly close parking spot to the parade route. We found a good spot to stand and within about two minutes all the key players in the parade, Bruce Bochey holding the trophy and all the players in cable cars, went right in front of us. Tim and Darren were right up in the crowd while me and Braden stayed back where it was a little quieter. It was an amazing experience that I'm glad we were a part of.
I can finally get Darren's hair cut too. Tim is a pretty superstitious guy when it comes to sports (he still thinks the Giants lost the 2002 World Series because he is had to use the bathroom in the middle of game six) and decided in September that the Giants might lose if I get Darren's hair cut!
Our little Braden has also been nicknamed "the magic baby" by one of Tim's co-workers who is a Dodgers fan who thinks that the birth of Braden has brought them luck. That one I have to agree with too because in early September Jerry, Tim's dad, texted me saying that Braden could not be born until the Giants clinched the NL West. He jokingly texted me through out the month with things like "Gotta beat the Padres" or "maybe this week". So the Giants clinched October 3rd and Braden was born in the early morning October 4th!
Spring training starts in four months!!!!
