How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God!
1 John 3:1

A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.
Psalm 68:5-6

Football

It's hard to believe it's football season is here!! We do love football at our house. Anna's learned that our team wears orange; that when you go to football, you say, "Go Vols!"; she can identify the football coach by name; and she can signal 'touchdown'......so proud of my gal!

As the home opener approached, I debated on whether or not we should attempt going- you just never know what you're going to get with a two year old. As we were getting dressed for our day, I thought of the reasons why this was a bad idea: 98 degree heat, 100,000 people, predicted rain, no toys or books, a kiddo who likes to run. The deciding factor was knowing we could leave anytime if this went bad!

So, we venterued to tailgait with our family and friends. (Check out these pictures from last year's tailgate- last year, I brought a baby, this year, I have a big girl!) Due to the heat, we didn't visit very long.

As always, Anna loved hanging out with her Bill.
Poor SueSue, got really hot at tailgate. However, Anna's always glad to see her!
Before the pre-game show was even completed, the lightening started and the rains came. The stadium was cleared. Kickoff was delayed for an hour and a half. Thank you to Bud for our inside seats!!
Eventually, the skies cleared and it was a really nice night....made even better by our big win.
We had a FANTASTIC day! Anna was great all afternoon and evening. She played and, with the exception of it being a little loud for her liking, enjoyed everything about football! She smiled and laughed and charmed everyone she met.....and as always looked super cute doing it!
So here's to a great football season.....we may get to see more football than I had anticipated! Go Vols!!
