a glimpse of today.
here. now.
i have grown to love the sound of espn filling our house.
i can not turn on a tv in this house without finding espn on.
when i arrive home in the morning from taking justin to practice,
i am greeted by the sounds of espn and the top ten plays
bouncing off the kitchen walls while colin is sitting
ever so close to the kitchen tv at 6:45am.
when nathan fails to arrive in the kitchen by 7am for
breakfast, i head upstairs only to find him glued to espn and
absorbing an overnight story.
(and yes, espn has lead to more family talks than any
espisode of friends...tiger, vic & ben to name a few)
our newest fad in the sippel household -
pick the winner each week of all the nfl teams playing.
on friday, i print all the sunday/monday games & we each
predict the winning team.
we do not help each other.
we base our choices on various factors.
steve & justin review the season stats.
nathan uses statistical formulas.
colin uses instinct & stats.
i use team colors.
we are having so much fun tracking our wins & losses.
( i actually picked 11 out of 16 winning teams last weekend !!)
((i am pretty excited about the above line.))
its fun to listen to each member defending their team.
its fun to watch who picks the bills & the boys.
loyalty.
it just another everyday memory.
keep ya posted on the sippel tally &
who wins the overall season high score.
