Go Redwings!!!





For those of you that don't know, Marty is a HUGE Redwings fan! And for those of you that don't know what a redwing is....count your blessings! :) LOL Living here in Dallas, everyone is a Stars fan. So, when we went to watch the Stars/Redwings game at Buffalo Wild Wings with Marty's softball team and their families.....let's just say it was interesting. ;) Marty's mom brought back some Redwings outfits/jerseys for the kids on her last trip to Michigan since you can't find anything of theirs here. Well, Marty of course dressed the kids up in their Redwing stuff and off we went to BWW. No, I don't have a Redwings shirt. Guess I should get one, or maybe I'll accept the fact that we live in Dallas and get a Stars shirt! LOL Anyhow, Marty taught Maddie how to say "Go Redwings!" and so she did on his every prod! She LOVED it!! And we kept getting stares from strangers as the only Redwings fans in the place. Luckily Marty had Maddie there with her cute little pink jersey, otherwise there might have easily been some rowdiness going on. They all thought it was pretty cute that Maddie so easily chanted what her father taught her, even though she didn't know who in the world the Redwings were from anything. It made me start to think about the future and how she won't always be so willing to do what her mom and dad do. So, I am thankful that even though I am sometimes overwhelmed when she copies my EVERY move and gets right under foot to "do it with you, mommy," that I have these moments in their lives now. I am thankful and lucky that I am the one they are looking to for direction and guidance. I pray that I do the "right" thing for them. :) For they will only be little and impressionable from Marty and me for so long.

Quick question...how did you add music and the "subscribe to feeds" to your blog? I still have so much to learn! If I could just do the writing and someone else could do all the fancy stuff that would be great!
