New Marching Band Conductor

We have discovered that Drew is drawn to music like a bug to a bug zapper since he was born. The fact that we live 1 block away from Thirlby Field ( this is where all the TC football games are played, and also where the marching band practices) makes for some very interesting reactions from him. This morning even, Drew could hear the band playing, and starts pointing at the window facing the direction of the field ( usually he is jumping up and down, but he has a cold) and saying BAND, BAND! Last weekend I decided to take him to his first football game. Michelle was at a bunco party, so it was just Drew and I. He was loving every second of it. As much as he tried to stay sitting, he just couldn't help himself. Standing on my lap, especially whe the band started playing he would start waving his little arms like a pint sized Band Conductor! He loved the music and the football. We made it all the way to the third quarter, which blew my mind. He was even starting to get some cheerleader groupies ( one of them gave him thier bullhorn). The whole way home, he had this expression on his face.......like complete happiness and satisfaction.


We plan to go to the game this friday, and hopefully Michelle will come with us and I can get some video to post.


My fantasy football team is complete garbage so far this year....Oh well....Detroit Had A Win!!!!
Detroit Lions finally win a game! It was an unbelievable feeling, I wanted to cry a little. I like that Stafford kid, I think that they can turn this thing around. The good news is, they don't a very high bar to reach.
