Baby Packer Backer

Liam's first football season is over. The Green Bay Packers were robbed of a Superbowl berth in the heart-wrenching conclusion of the last playoff game this evening. Liam watched some of the game, wearing Packer colors, of course. My hope is that with this loss, Favre will hang out for at least another year. I think the Pack could make another run next year, and with a third-place finish, maybe the networks will carry more of their games out here.

So I now have eight months to teach Liam to say 'Go Pack Go'. Shouldn't be too hard, except for that technicality that gets in the way right now... Liam's vocabulary consists of ah-tah, dah, and the occasional eh-dul-eh-dul-eh-dul. To pronounce the last one, say eh and quickly move your tongue left to right repeatedly. As you can see, we have some work to do.

Here's to Superbowl XLIII *next year*
