Are You Ready for some Football????

My little Cowboys







I know it looks like we're obsessed with the Cowboys, and, well, I guess we kind of are, but not in that really annoying way (at least to those who are also obsessed). I promise I usually only let the kids wear their jerseys on game day, but we were going to Brandon's first football game, and Will had just gotten his new cleats (for t-ball), so he thought he needed to wear it. And what Will does, Maggie does. She calls hers a "Romo." There was obviously the game on the field, then there were some other kids playing behind the end zone, so Will and Maggie started their own little pick up game.


Eric had to go all the way to New York to find my birthday present

for this year!

Oh wait, I guess he just went for the Yankee game...

Then to Boston for a Red Sox game. There was a Mets game involved

somewhere too, but is that really worth blogging about?






Preschool is still in the "transition" phase for Maggie. She cried, make that screamed, for about 45 minutes yesterday, and when we went to the pediatrician today for her 18 month checkup, they actually had to do a throat culture to make sure she didn't have strep because her poor little throat was so red. Unfortunately the pedi didn't have much new advice to offer on that topic. Maggie ALMOST got to the 20 pound marker today. I fed her all the way there and had her drink a cup of milk in the waiting room and she was just one ounce shy. Maybe next time. The doctor said she's still following her growth chart and that she's not worried about her weight.

Will is getting another set of tubes on October 3. It wasn't easy talking them into it, but I just couldn't bear to watch him suffer through cold season and all the ear infections that are bound to come with it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with obsessing about the Cowboys. The Barry family is obsessing as well, but the problem is, no one in MO cares about the Cowboys. In fact, they hate them. Paul and I were both worn out the day after the game and no one we worked with even stayed up to watch the game. Very odd. Very odd indeed.

Eric Mittig and Paul Barry must be on the same wave length. Paul Barry is leaving tomorrow to fly to NY for one of the final games at the stadium.

Hope you had a great birthday. Did you actually allow Eric to leave town for your b-day???

Maggie looks like such a big girl in her blue jeans. I love the picture where she's pulling Will down!

Oh that first picture of the two of them is absolutely priceless!
They should be the Cowboys' poster children!
