Let the crazies begin!

Welcome to basketball season! It's hit us full force here in NC and we're ready for a great season. John ushered the first game of the season, which means that I got his ticket.

DUKE VS. UNC GREENSBORO

we won 96-62

Duke player #55, Brian Zoubek is at the free throw line. Whenever this 7ft 1in player does something good everyone raises their hands in the shape of a "Z" and yells "Zoooob". The first time I heard it, thought everyone was "booing"... and I was very confused!

Thanks Ashley for watching our boys... it was very nice to hold John's hand (in betweeen cheers).

Game #2

DUKE VS. CHARLOTTE

The second game we went to families were invited. Little kids aren't often allowed in Cameron Indoor Stadium, so we jumped on the opportunity and took the whole family. Usually, we stand the entire time (in the grad section) but our friend (Kris) gave us these awesome "real" tickets! Rachel and I sat up here with the babies while our hubbies managed the toddlers in the graduate section. (below picture)

Dear Jack, Is is too much to ask for a "normal" family picture??? Love, MOM

during free throws everyone raises their arms above their head...

Then when we make the free throw everyone bring their elbows in and says, "Woosh!" Jack was very good at it by the end of the night!

my cute boys watchin the game.... Jack is getting tired. It's way past bed time.

We won 101-59
We got to drive home in Daniel's "BIG van" (as Jack calls it) :-) Dan is our friend who lives a few doors down from us. He's in his 2nd year of law school. I admire anyone who can make it through law school...but especially a quadriplegic. You should see him type with his mouth stick... it's AWESOME!! We love you Dan!

No one likes to sit in traffic... especially the bad traffic after a Duke bball game. So, Jack and I made silly faces to help pass the time :-)
