I'm Getting Ready for Next Season

Hello all and Season's Greetings! We're busy decorating the house, playing Christmas music, and enjoying all the fun things to do this time of year. Well, I know in the past I've talked with certainty about my future plans. But, as we all know, desperate times call for desperate measures. So I talked it over with Coach Weis and we decided that I'm going to be helping out on the offensive line come next season. They can use all the help they can get! True, I know I'm a little small but I make up for it in speed. I can do the 40 yard crawl in 45 seconds, but sometimes I get a little distracted and veer off course. Just as soon as I get the hang of this walking business I can move forward with my training routine. I do have to remind Uncle Brian and my cousins, Casey and Matthew, that we did at least beat Duke. You guys should join me in South Bend, the team really needs us! Nolan, we need you to be the brains of the operation. Ask your Mom and Dad, tell them it will be a learning opportunity. Have a great day! And remember, "Go Irish!"

Happy Cake and Trick or Treat!

Hi everyone! Thanks to all of our family and friends who visited us in October, it was great to see you. Benny had a great birthday party, although it took him a minute to decide whether or not he liked the happy cake. I'm pretty sure the adults liked the cake and, as usual, we had enough food to feed an army. Our meat trays would have made Gram proud!

Benny also dressed up for Halloween this year, although we did not go trick-or-treating. We had a hard time coming up with a costume topping last year's chili pepper. Check out our early posts for those pictures. This year he was a dinosaur, or as we called him all day yesterday, Benasaurus Rex. We had a great day and hope your Halloween was nice as well! Take care!

He makes a pretty fearsome Benasaurus Rex, don't let the smile fool you!
