Mountaineer football season is half over (well more than that) and I haven't posted any pictures from all of the fun.
Drea loves the games. We thought she would only get to go to one this year because we didn't know how well she would be able to sit through the games as a two year old (and it's pretty tight in our section). But she did so good the first game that we wanted to take her to the next. And she would look forward to every game and couldn't wait for Saturdays. We had so many home games the first month we were able to go every weekend.
We were so proud of her. She would be so excited to tailgate and then get to the stadium and watch the band get the festivities started. Then the whole game she would monitor Pat White's progress and cheer him on! It was so great to watch her become the Mountaineer fan like us. And no, we don't brain wash her. And she would even take a nap during one whole quarter!
As soon as we got in the car after the first game she insisted on listening to our Mountaineer marching band CD. This is her favorite thing to listen to in the car. And after only a few times listening to her favorite songs and mommy and daddy singing them with her, she knows most of the songs and the words. She can sing the Mountaineer fight song, the WVU Aluma Mater, Country Roads (even the verses), and some of the Star Spangled Banner. I'm not trying to say she's brilliant but I know adults who don't know the words to some of these songs. Well, and she's brilliant! She just memorizes very easily. Hopefully this will help her one day in school! Anyway, enjoy the pics below.

Hey Stacey & Andy & Drea too!
I love seeing all the pics & finding out all the things that you guys are doing! I can hardly wait until Christmas time when you come to NJ again for a visit.
Stacey, I remember feeling down during the early months of pregnancy when your body is going hairwire, & you remember that your body chged during the last pregnancy & what chgs will take place THIS time. With Karen I gained 20 lbs., which was the exact required amount, but then she was 10 days late & was so depressed I ate donut, after donut because I was tired of eating healthy! I gained 6 more lbs. in those 10 days. (All donut weight)
With Andy & Laura I gained 20 & then started losing, with a total gain of 17 lbs. I guess it was keeping up with the older kid or kids.
There is an acquarium in Atlantic City. I want to look on line for the particulars & maybe we can go there when you all come to NJ>
I hope sometime we can go camping. I miss not doing that although it is a little like camping at my house when we have our little fire pit. If it is not too bitter cold we can do that when you come again.
I can't wait to see how big Drea is. Love, Noni
