Our ND Boy Comes Home

Although Benjamin stood on the Notre Dame field while in utero this was his first "real" visit to his beloved Notre Dame and his proud Papa was nearly busting at the seams! Benjamin got to see Dadda's dorm all decked out for the big game!
And he even had lunch with the marching band - getting a lucky irish head rub from one of the drum line who thought he was the best looking little guy in an ND jersey who he had ever seen!

Someday we'll share with Benjamin that we prayed for him at the grotto when he was still only a twinkle in our eyes, that we brought him (before we ever knew him) to hear the live version of the fight song (versus the version through headphones wrapped around my belly that he listened to each night while he was comfortably nestled in Mama's belly), and how on this trip, his first to ND, we were so excited to introduce him to such an important place in our lives. He sure did make his ND Daddy proud!!GO IRISH!!!
