A good day to be a Tar Heel

She started her day off excited; the sun had finally reappeared and she was eager to sing at church and share the Holy One’s affection for all things Carolina blue.

Then…game time came and we cheered and cheered.  (Holding her first pom-pom wasn’t nearly as much fun as trying to eat it.)

And once the victory was secured, relief (and exhaustion) took over and sweet, blissful images of net-cutting ceremonies flooded her dreams.

It was a good day.

Other than today, we’ve had a good weekend.  Friday, Holly and I finally had a date night and Tessa finally had her first babysitters (Thanks again Babs and Jim!).  Then Saturday morning came and T and I were especially excited to give Mommy a morning to sleep in.  Ever since we brought the little critter home, Holly has been working and working to nourish and nurture our sweet T.  (and now, I’m thirsty for sweet tea.)  We really love weekends, but a persistent cloudy sky kept us inside – meaning not much time to play Frisbee with Tessa.  Here’s looking forward to a bright, eventful week!

I'm sorry to report that Charlotte slept through the Carolina game, and will likely be sleeping through the next two victories. Maybe next season.

Wow Ash - not cool making me go through all of the emotions of "she's gonna grow up so fast".

Just kidding. I already feel like she's growing too quickly, so this is probably going to be 18 yrs of daddy-wrapped-around-her-finger.

As for the ultimate tear-jerker thus far, the award goes to "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman. Obviously, what makes this song even more powerful is that his sweet little girl Maria was a big inspiration to the song before her death. http://stevencurtischapman.com/thismoment.htm

I'm honored to be in the company of men who cry over sappy daddy music.
