Today, Oman and I spent a wonderful day with some family from the left coast. Some of you Virginian's may recognize this photo the quickest--it's on the ground of a certain university. They cheer silly things like Waaaah-Hoooo at football games, and I always cheer for them when they are playing against a certain school that has a turkey as their mascot.
I dressed Oman in preppy clothes--a cardigan sweater and loafers, and maaaaaan did he fit RIGHT in. I was hoping he'd get spotted by some recruiters and they'd offer him a scholarship right on the spot. No such luck.
We all enjoyed the afternoon just watching Oman run around...being with these family members meant a lot--they have been so supportive of us since the very beginning of our journey. Watching my aunt and cousin's playing "1-2-3 Jump" with Oman and hearing my uncle sing "Itsy-Bitsy-Spider" was a memory I'll hold for a long, long time.
Please enjoy a glass of Viognier from Jefferson Vineyards, right down the road for this evening's Virtual Wine Club. I'm toasting the special bond of family.
Cheers!
Sounds like a great day!! Maybe they'll recruit Oman next time?? He has loafers??? Picture? that has to be absolutely adorable on him!
ReplyDeleteI recognize that photo, and will be cheering with you on Saturday. (What else did you do in the C'ville?)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fantastic day.
Hokie family here, but you can't beat that other schools beautiful campus! ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty campus. Half of the kids I went to HS with went there.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Rotten, the other half probably had enough sense to go to the Virginia powerhouse!! I won't hold this post against you, JJ and I will be sure to bring my Hello Hokie Bird for O-man to read next time I see you guys!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! Even if it was C'ville. :-)
