Football season kicked off this weekend!!! One of my favorite times of the year. Katie, Grandma and Grandpa and I headed south to Kinnick Stadium to watch the Hawks in their season opener. It was very hot and Katie was very grumpy during the game. We did not get any breeze where we were sitting and it was miserable! Fortunately, we found the one (?) place to buy ice cream cones and that really helped. That and the Hawks won!!! I'm not sure how the Hawks are going to do this year.... there were some really fun things to watch on Saturday, but difficult to see how we'll do when we play a tougher opponent.

Our Hawkeye is getting bigger and bigger and bigger! He's still a pretty good puppy although this week I caught him sitting on my big chair watching TV (he's not allowed on the furniture - at least I think!) I guess he didn't remember that I was home!
