Welcome to our adventures. I try as best as I can to document the happenings here in our family - everything from the shenanigans to the spiritual, from the kid to the kitchen, from the cat to the catastrophes. We believe that adventure can be found in everything we do...even in the mundane tasks of the day. When we set our minds on things above in gratitude to God, we find the strength to approach life with a sense of purpose & adventure. The adventure may not always be what we have planned...but isn't that what adventure is all about?

Other Stuff We Do

Wednesday, January 2, 2008


sung to the traditional Christmas tune
"What Child is This?"

verse 1:
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
WHO WEARS THE SHIRT
THAT DONS THE NUMBER EIGH-TY.
HER MOM CAN'T BEAR TO GAZE UPON
THE SILVER AND BLACK
REPUG-NANCE.

chorus 1:
THIS, THIS IS A PROBLEM
SUBJECTING A CHILD TO SUCH AFFRIGHT.
WHO, WHO CAN HELP HER NOW
SURE-LY NOT JERRY RICE......

verse 2:
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
WHO SEEMS SO BLITHE,
HER FATHER HARDLY BREATHING...
MEMORIES OF HIS GREAT HERO
WHO NOW HAS DANCED WITH THE STARS.

chorus 2:
"COMMIT-MENT TO EX-CEL-ENCE"
IS HOW THE MOTTO SUPPOSEDLY GOES
HOW, HOW CAN THIS BE RIGHT
THE DAUGHTER OF A BOLT AND A NINER?

see the origins of this jersey:


given as a gift to Abby from Raider Phil
Christmas 2003
much to the chagrin of
Charger Kristin and Niner Mike

Abby is truly blessed to have a mother and father so COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE in raising a wonderful child.

Mike and Kristen Amaro has beautifully adorned Abby with only the finest garments from an organization also COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE.

Oh! That smile tells the whole picture. Abby loves her silver and black. Once you go silver and black, you can never go back!

Raider Abby... You go girl...

Arrrrrgh!!!
Is this some kind of
"photoshop" trick?
This has to be a
cardboard cutout!
But she is so danged
cute, that I didn't
notice the '80' until
later.
