Tailgating and Band

Joey has a new friend. Moria is the daughter of one of our extended ND family, sometimes referred to as the Chicago boys. It's a cute story how we met up with these people... long story short, we met as tailgating ND friends over 10 years ago, and have been getting together for games ever since.

Moria is going in to 4th grade and really loves babies!

Other special people at the tailgate:

• Christian, Michelle, Natalie, and The Smiths (Michelle's parents)
• Anna Franzonello - Mario's cousin
• My aunt Brenda, Uncle Steve, cousin Jessica (Jr at ND) cousin Stephen and his wife Marisol, and Uncle Gene
• Dad Suarez, my Mom and Dad, and sister Kathy
• Kelly, Kate, Austin, Kristin ... and more ND friends or ours
• the Chicago boys and their family
  

Before every ND game the band has a concert and then marches into the stadium. The Marios headed over to catch the concert and then my mom and I took napping Joey to find a good spot for when the band marches by. Joey was bound to wake up for this event, which he did. He didn't cry at all, just kind of looked tired and out of it. So we took him out of his stroller so he could watch too.

MJ watched the band from Mario's shoulders. He was likes the band a lot but says its a little too noisy. We're proud because MJ can sing the fight song.
