Baby's First Football Game

It’s Sunday afternoon and the leaves on the trees are just beginning to relinquish their green to tones of amber and scarlet. At our house, that means one thing: you can find Michael and me plopped on the couch, watching the game. Our little Chargers girl donned her team onesie for today’s season opener, an outfit which I’m pretty sure consists of exactly the same amount of fabric as an actual Chargers Girl uniform. And, as the Panthers scored a final touchdown in the last two seconds of the game to beat the Chargers 26 to 24, Avery learned the first rule of being a San Diego sports fan: despite the fact that they inevitably lose, we always, always root for the home team.
