Go Pack Go!

It feels surreal that our beloved Green Bay Packers are going to the Super Bowl. It's been a wild ride of the season, with the first and second halves of the season having the same win-loss pattern. I love extra Packers football, and this is just fun.

We've been coaching Felix to fine tune his football watching skills. During the last game, I taught him First Down (with the arm motion), and he can occasionally do it with a "fuhdown". He's taken aback when we jump up and down yelling Touchdown! when it happens in real time, but he'll do the arm motion and say "tot down" once we've settled down. We've been working on getting him to identify a Green Bay logo ("Gee!"). Now if only we can get him to boo when he sees black and gold (also handy when facing Iowa)...

And along those lines, Felix's new favorite word is Wisconsin. He doesn't have all the syllables yet, pronouncing it "Condin!", but he surprised me this morning by identifying it on the license plate of a car in front of us. Add that to Bucky, W, Badger, and we've definitely got ourselves a Badger from Birth and the brainwashing is nearly complete. :o)


And bonus fun - see how big Felix has gotten:

First Half of 2026

It's been a whirlwind of a summer so far, so much so that I forgot to whip up this blog post until now.  2026 has been good to us so far...
