Go Boilers!

One of the perks of working for the Big Ten Network, occasionally Ryan will get free tickets to different events. This week he happened to get tickets for two different Purdue games, one here in Chicago versus Northwestern and the other at Purdue vs. Iowa. Ryan went to the Northwestern game without Paige and me because it would have interfered way too much with bedtime. When Ryan got home from the game, Paige heard him and started to call for him. He went into her room and she asked him "you all done with basaketball game Daddy?" he nodded his head. Then she replied, "Why you don't take me with you?" So sweet and so sad all at the same time. That was enough for Ryan to know that taking her to the game on Saturday would be a good idea. She was very excited when he told her even though she had no idea what she was getting into.

Ryan was very excited to take Paige to her first Purdue basketball game this past weekend. Since Paige was in the womb, Ryan has been determined that Paige will play basketball for Purdue when she gets to college. Little does Ryan realize that she would much rather dance or be a cheerleader than a basketball player. She was very excited when the girls were dancing and such. Paige did really great throughout the game. She was a bit antsy but so much better than expected. I think Ryan's favorite part was when Paige got to shake hands with Coach Keady. Paige didn't seem to care but it was a proud moment for Ryan.


Cheering on the Boilers. Paige really liked all the clapping and cheering. She was even chanting "Let's Go Boilers!" with the crowd. Daddy was so proud.
