Go Steelers!


I felt pretty fortunate to be in Pgh for Superbowl weekend.  So I had to get Makili a Polamalu t-shirt and some pompoms to get him pumped up.  So we listened to all the Steeler fight songs this morning and got ready for the big game tonight.  It was pretty awesome.  Makili, as you can see, knew just what to do.

Scenes from the Strip


To start I want to share the news that I broke my portrait lens yesterday.  I don't want to talk about it because I'm still very upset, but I want you to know because once I get the pictures I've already taken posted, there won't be any for a while.  So here we go...as in "Here we go...Steelers.  Here We GO!"

We went down to the Strip yesterday morning in subarctic temperatures to land some Steeler gear and some goodies to eat while watching the superbowl.  Amanda came cute and pregnant, and Emily and Caroline came with their watchful eyes for goodies.  Mostly they were into the snacks - the cream horns, the cookies, the salsa, the dips, and then all the stuff they didn't buy - the mung bean pan cakes, the sausages, the breads...  

There weren't nearly as many people as there were three years ago when we went, but I'm blaming that on the fricking unbelievable cold.  Our toes were unprepared and kept steering us back to the car...but it was fun to be there for a little while.
