Gavin & Da Bears

Evie was getting a host of visitors today (Sunday) so Sharon and I caught up on some sleep while relaxing with Gavin and some football.

Gavin started off the day saying a little prayer that his sister Evie gets better soon so that she can come home to play with him... and that Da Bears would win.




We started off watching the Patriots vs Dolphins game, but it was a slaughter (five of Tom Brady's six TD passes came in the first half of the 49-28 romp). The game was so boring that even the network tuned out in the 4th quarter to "a more competitive game" (the Ravins/Bills game? Hardly). Gavin agreed, and took a nap until the Bears played at 3:15PM.




The first half of the Bears vs Eagles game was a bit slow as well, with neither side putting up much offense, and the cowardly Eagles never punted to Devin Hester so the excitement level was zero. Then the Eagles punter pinned the Bears at their own 3-yard line with the Eagles leading 16-12 and 1 minute 52 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter. Victory for the Eagles looked imminent. Gavin couldn't bear to watch!




But then, the Bear's veteran QB Brian Griese did his best Brett Favre impression of a 4th quarter comeback and marched the Bears 97 yards down the field in under two minutes for a touchdown to Mooooose! Bears Win!




Gavin was worn out for the night after all that excitement and couldn't even stay up to watch the Steelers also try to make a great 4th quarter comeback (but they just couldn't catch up to the Broncos).




If it seemed like Gavin was wearing a different outfit in nearly every one of these photos, it's because he is. It was a big pee day and his diapers just couldn't keep up. He went through five changes of outfits throughout the day (and mommy Sharon had to change her shirt twice!).
