We have been loving the hockey playoffs this year... and from the proof in this picture, the kids have too! It's really fun to have everyone get their jerseys on and enjoy the game together. I love that we have such a fun family tradition. We are always texting and calling after goals with Ben's family during the games. His parents are in California, Grammy and Aunt Nancy are in Michigan, Dru is in St. John and Susie is in Sacramento, but during the games it's almost like we're all together.
The Red Wings have made it to the final round again with the Penguins (a rematch of the finals last year) and we are ready to see them win again! Game one is Saturday 7 pm central).
For all of you non-hockey fans out there, you should really try it! I grew up thinking hockey was stupid, violent and boring, but that's not true at all. Once you know the rules and how it works, it's totally fascinating (and the fights, which don't happen all that often, become REALLY fun!). It's super fast-paced and makes basketball and baseball seem really b-o-r-i-n-g.
Go Wings!!

So cute! I love the picture! Ben would have loved the guy I sat next to on the plane to Phoenix. He was a retired hockey player and now he works for the minor leagues. I'll have to check out hockey sometime, never had much interest, but I'll have to give it a try! =) I promise to email soon, we've got to catch up!
