Rachel is Twenty
I know every parent feels this - time goes by too quickly; I wish she was still three and reaching for my hand to cross a street; where did all the moments go? I can still hear her laugh, her morning sneezes, her song coming from the shower. I hope I always will. Today the baby who made me a mom is twenty. Twenty. Happy Happy Birthday Rachel Mae.

Superbowl LII
In our family, each person has a football team. We don't all root for the same team; that would be too easy. Instead, we all root against each other. Here's our list:
James: Minnesota Vikings
Tina: New Orleans Saints
Rachel: Philadelphia Eagles
Evan: Miami Dolphins
Samantha: Atlanta Falcons
Charlotte: Denver Broncos
Josephine: Carolina Panthers
JMichael: New England Patriots
This season - 2017 - 2018 -- Of the eight of us, five were in the playoffs. The big dance came down to two of us - Rachel versus JMichael. It was tense. JMichael was a valiant fan and played a good game, but, in the end, Rachel and her Eagles were victorious. Rachel watched the game at a friends house, and JMichael watched at home with us.
My brothers have teams, too - David roots for the Baltimore Ravens, his wife Dawn roots for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Eric and Abby are Cowboys fans through and through. Mom and Dad cheered for the Rams, even through all their changes of venue. I remember one Superbowl that Dad was so excited about - the Rams were playing, and to make it even better - Tina Turner was the halftime show. The Rams lost, but, Dad was still happy.
It'll be a long off season, full of talk on drafts and trades. Long live football!
