The Baltimore Ravens won the AFC Championship last night.  All of the kids were home.  They  all watched the first half but then went back and forth between the play room and the TV room for the 2nd half.  They would come in every time there was a big play to give me and Mom high fives or knuckles (Poundcake … French Fries).  The game itself was awesome; we beat Tom Brady and the Patriots, 28-13.

After the game, we drove into Baltimore City to partake in the celebration.  We all piled in the mini van.  As we drove through the city streets, everyone was honking their horns and hanging out their windows.  People with sun roofs were hanging out of their sunroofs.  Some people were just riding on top of their cars.  People walking the streets were slapping hands with every car.  Eden and I were hanging out of our windows slapping hands with the passers-by.

A joyous celebration.  I can’t wait until two weeks from now.

This is the first time in any of the children’s lives that Baltimore went to a Super Bowl.  Only the 2nd time so far in my lifetime.  So we are going to celebrate and we are going to cherish the moments.
