It’s been a sporting week in our household the past week and a half or so, and I’m am proud to annouce, that my baby girl, is now a real kid, because …

Real Kids Wear Black! Hahahaha!! I’m such a proud papa! Doning the silver and black for the first time brought a tear to my eye as we watched the Hall of Fame game with the Raiders versus the Eagles, which the Raiders won 16-10. It was also the year that the great blabbering John Madden was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame. Here’s a partial family photo …

The sane ones aren’t in it. But you know what, I think that you’re good luck for the Silver and Black, because ever since you were born, the Raiders haven’t lost yet!

Later on that week, it was “Time for Dodger Baseball!”

So one day after work we gathered the available clan and headed to Chavez Ravine to catch the Dodgers play the Marlins. It was a nice and beautiful evening at Dodger Stadium. We all had a good time eating Dodger dogs and pizza. But you were too little to eat that stuff.

And as you can tell from these pictures, you were really into the game and you actually really had a good time. You were looking around at everything, and cooing. It was really fun. If you’ve failed to notice then, the Dodgers won 4-0, getting their 17th victory in 18 games, their best stretch since 1899. I’d like to attribute that fact to the fact the you were in attendance of the game, because the next game, they lost 4-15. But I can’t blame you if you didn’t notice, you were only 3 and a half months old, and you have only recently started sucking your thumb…
