Going to a Football Game!

The other night we went to the Insight Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. A day or two leading up to the game Hayden was getting excited, "We going to a football game!"

Thanks to Jake Nero who hooked us up with the free tickets.

The game pitted Iowa and Missouri and it was a great one that went down to the wire...of course we left at halftime to get the girls home and in bed. All in all it was a great night and we had a good time.

Last Day at Work

Ellie has been coming to work with me for the last two months and it has been wonderful. She is such a relaxed baby and I have really enjoyed her 'company' in my office.

On Monday she will go to daycare full time (same place as Hayden) and our mommy/daughter work days will be over. It's a bittersweet change. I'm excited to get back into my work and not have to worry about her fussing while I'm on the phone with a client or think about nursing timelines. But I'm going to miss her sweet little face and big smiles.

Thanks for a great couple of months Anabelle!

Aces Bowl XIV

Another great time was had by all in Nashville, TN at Aces Bowl XIV. Highlights included:

• Attending the Garth Brooks flood relief benefit concert where he played more songs than usual, then came back out for a 2nd encore and took requests from the crowd (just himself on acoustic guitar without the band). He also finished with American Pie which was legit.
• Eating brunch at Monell's which provides a ludicrous amount of food in a communal setting.
• Having Cyrus hook us up getting a suite and club level access so that we could partake in the free breakfast and hors d'oeuvres.
• Playing Euchre in the room.
• Hanging out at 43 honky tonk bars, with each of them having live music (and sometimes 2 or 3 different stages and bands per establishment. They don't call it Music City for nothing.
• Hearing Greg talk about this "amazing" game called Icing which is simultaneously lame and fantastic. It is lame when it happens to anyone else other than Greg Pronti, that is when it is fantastic.
• Eating delicious barbecue which included ribs, kielbasa, chicken, onion rings, and pulled pork.
• Going to the 14th annual football game and being able to buy 8 seats together for $25 per (plus fees) 2 hours prior to kickoff.
