Family Picture - Week 28

On Saturday, Maile put on her Duke Blue Devil gear and we got ready to watch the Duke/Georgetown game on TV. It was Maile’s first college basketball game and since both teams were ranked in the top ten, we thought it would be a good one. Unfortunately, the Blue Devils did not come to play and the Hoyas blew them out of the arena.

Poor Maile. I had prepped her by telling her how great Duke was and now she’s just really confused about what “good” basketball really is. She told me she’d give them another chance, but she’s just not sure she can throw her loyalties behind a team that put forth such a lackluster effort. I told her I completely understand and that we won’t make her wear her Duke gear for a little while. She said that probably made sense until Duke proves their worthy of her fanhood.

Mommy and Maile before the game - we're getting all pumped up!

Daddy and Maile - if it's not obvious, this was taken AFTER the game. Duke got blown out. So embarrassing. I tried to comfort daddy by being extremely cute. He said it helped.
