Rohan Is Pumped For Opening Day!

Today is the official opening day for Major League Baseball! Although the Brewers don't play today (just the Phillies & Braves), it's still exciting to have a break from NBA & NHL, which we could care less about...:) At least March Madness is on and Tiger is back playing golf, so those have been a good bridge between NFL & MLB.
From the pictures you can see that Rohan was particularly excite about baseball starting. He even wore his ALL-STAR outfit, his choice of course...:) Hope you enjoy the pictures!


Mara also had video of Rohan just chillin' out, eating his fingers. When we looked up and saw she was there, he just started to cheese. I thought this was pretty cute:


We also may have found a name for the puppy. We're thinking Schroeder, which does actually continue our Peanuts character theme. He was the piano prodigy that played Beethoven and was the object of affection for the Lucy character...kind of fitting, but given that he replaced Lucy in our house...kind of the opposite too. We employed Chris & Shell to help us pick. We had a list of 12 or so names and couldn't decide on which one we liked better. We liked all of them, but just couldn't pull the trigger on one for sure. Thanks for your help Stokes'!
A while back I also thought of Schrödinger as a similar name. He was a quantum mechanics physicist that had a really cool thought experiment called "Schrödinger's Cat". It places a cat in a box (theoretically) with a bottle of poison under a hammer, a Geiger counter , and a radioactive substance. If the Geiger counter detects a decayed particle from the radioactive substance, it releases the hammer, exposing the cat to the poison. Basically the problem states that the cat exists in both live & dead states based on the probability of the Geiger counter detecting the radiation. The problem was a case he and Einstein discussed because the cat cannot exist in 2 states, it's either dead or alive. Kind of fun to think about...:)
Anyway, we are still taking suggestions for the name in case we like another one better, but it looks like we'll be sticking with Schröeder for now...:)

I think Schroeder could work....
Love the pictures, as usual, and especially the video! Rohan reacts to Mara like Thomas does to Debora - and Sam to Sally, too!
Good luck with the house-training!
