Playing Mommy & Mizzou's Victory

It is time for a little catch up. We have been lazy getting around to updating the blog. Back in August Linda was doing some laundry and Savannah was playing in the family room talking to her “baby”. When Linda came out of the laundry room she found that Savannah had put her baby in her own booster seat, was getting a bib for her baby and was preparing to give baby a bottle. It was pretty cute so Linda helped Savannah into one of the adult chairs where she then proceeded to give baby a bottle, clean her up, wipe up the table and flip through a magazine (which just so happen to have cabbage patch dolls in it). It was pretty cute and Linda had to get a few pictures of it. The following week was the opening day of College Football. Mizzou played Illinois in the Braggin’ Rights Game at the Dome in St. Louis. Tickets were hard to come by but lucky for us a very, very nice lady that I work with buys season tickets for the Mizzou games and her family was unable to go to the Braggin’ Rights Game so she hooked us up by allowing us to buy her tickets. Denise and Dave joined us, although they cheered on Illinois. We went by Grandma and Grandpa Huster’s house to pick up the Schuster’s and got a few family shots before the game. Savannah was dressed up in her Mizzou cheerleading outfit and Linda and I were set to go to the game. It took us forever to find a place to park so we didn’t have much time to walk around and enjoy all the entertainment going on around the dome. The number of people outside the dome before the game was pretty incredible. And a lot of those people were not even going to go to the game. Our seats were pretty high up, but not too bad. The only complaint we had was that we were in one of the only sections that stood through the entire game. That did not stop us from cheering Mizzou on to a 52/42 victory over Illinois. It did get a bit touchy in the fourth quarter, but the Illini ran out of time before they could catch the Mizzou offence. We are now looking forward to taking Savannah to her first Mizzou game at Faurot Field in Columbia. We have tickets for the 3 conference games in October and November and are very excited about the season.

We did get out to the river again, but we’ll save that for another blog.
