My First Game Day!



Football season finally started and daddy was so excited he put together an all-day menu of snacks and classic football foods: brats, chips, pizza, chilli, beer, cookies, and more. But I was very content with just milk! I wore my special Iowa t-shirt in honor of the Hawkeye's "home game" in Chicago. Daddy set up two TV's and we watched Iowa - Northern Illinois, UCLA - Stanford, Notre Dame- Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech- East Carolina, and of course, USC- Idaho. Well, actually daddy watched all those games. I played with mommy on my play mat and took a long nap cuddled up with mommy (how heavenly!)

In the morning, before the games started, daddy and I gave Grammie and Granpa a ride to the Cedar Rapids dog show so they could watch cousin Kiera compete. She won best of breed! WOW! Yay Keira!

Sophie you are just the most adorable football fan ever.
As I am sure your father told you the tradition of game day is an important and honored tradition in the House/Gruendler/Roberts family. You'll soon learn that football is a metaphor for life and nothing is as good as a sitting in the football stadium and watching your team on a cool fall day. The air is crisp, the sky is pure blue with big white fluffy clouds moving slowly over the stadium casting a shadow over the playing field and cheering crowds- a reminder that the warm days of summer are coming to a close. By the end of football season we will enjoy our first snow of the season and drink hot chocolate to keep us warm.
The family cheers for many teams -today Penn State was the victor and many of us were very glad to see that Michigan had a bad day but we have a long season ahead of us- some days will be good and others not so good.
Most importantly you'll be visiting Spring Creek in about a month. Uncle Mike and I are so excited to see you.
Also tell Grammie and Grandpa we are so glad to learn of cousin Kiera's success!!
Go Penn State!!
