We can hardly believe that it's time for football already. It feels like just a few weeks ago that summer stretched out in front of us, promising long lazy days and high adventure in equal proportions. Though we're loathe to bid farewell to summer, we've been looking forward to this aspect of fall. The girls have been practicing yelling "Go Irish!" for weeks. (You can hear them testing it out at the park as they slide down the big, twisty slide. Or when they're racing on the lawn. They're a little unclear on what it means, I suppose, but they yell it with gusto.) They couldn't wait to see Grandpa and show him that they were all ready...
And the season got off to the best sort of start -- a winning one! The girls had plenty of opportunities to yell "Go Irish!" and, even better, "Touchdown!"
Let's hope there's lots more of that this fall... But even if there's not, we know that Grandpa's girls will continue the tradition of cheering for the Irish. And perhaps one day, when they're practiced enough, they'll even be able to cheer the Irish in South Bend. For now, we do better with some cheering, some lunch, and then some naps. But maybe one day.
GO IRISH!
GO IRISH!

Your girls are such cute fans! Unfortunately around here we had many fewer opportunities to cheer. The Illini are NOT off to such a great start.
ND!
Incidentally, I was thinking I should use that for shirts for the children next year, when I need three. WE. ARE. ND. Hey, I could even use it for four shirts. (Not that we'll need four shirts. It was an observation, not an announcement!)
Love the shirts. ;)
