But we've still got pride!

Lots of great things happened this past weekend.

1. Brooke turned 2! I almost can't believe it. If you haven't seen Libby's blog for the videos and pictures of her party, you'll have to check it out. She was adorable and wonderful as always (Brooke....not Libby, although Libby was pretty wonderful too).

2. We got to spend a weekend at Nana and Pap's. After picking Joshua up at school on Friday, we packed up and headed for Lewistown. It was a whole lot of fun. Our plan was to be there for Brooke's big bash, and then stick around to hope that a whole bunch of good family vibes would help the Nittany Lions to upset the #1 Crimson Tide in primetime with the whole world watching.

3. The kids got to sport their new PSU gear to show their pride. It was adorable. See?

Big hill....little baby!

There was LOTS of running!

And sadly, this was our best effort at a group picture. Pitiful, I know. But you should have seen their bad attitudes and squirminess.

So, that was the good stuff. There were a few not-so-great things that happened this weekend too.

1. Pap's back was out so he was in his bed for the entire weekend. He did get to walk around a bit as the weekend progressed, but it wasn't Pap as usual this weekend. Dr. Joshua was "on the case" as he put it, though. I'm not sure the quality of the medical care he provided, but at least Pap had some company.

2. We won't dwell on it, but all of those people who were watching in prime time saw what "Roll Tide" meant.........Roll over PSU, I think! It wasn't pretty. Maybe next year.

But we still had a whole bunch of pride!
