We Are IN! Are You?

I feel like we are finding ourselves in this once in a lifetime (Ok maybe a couple times if you are lucky) moment; Our team, The Seahawks, in our adopted city, Seattle, is in the Superbowl!

oystersThe kids are sooo into it.

claraEvery week since the playoffs began has been “Seahawk Friday” at their school–where they usually wear uniforms.
