Hooray MSU!

Even though we're way out here in Vermont and Justin's a Michigan alum, we were rooting BIG TIME for State in last night's game! And what a game it was! We'll be watching tomorrow night's finals too. Will was part of the action for some of the game. He was mesmerized by Justin's animated face and actions, but when Justin started shouting at the game, Will cried! He is not usually afraid of loud noises, but something about Justin's cheering freaked him out! So Justin had to really hold back his enthusiasm and eventually ended up across the street at our neighbor's house, where shouting was allowed! 
For those who regularly use Facebook, these pics will be redundant (I posted them last night on FB). But I know not everyone uses Facebook (hi Jodi!!!!!!!!!!!) and I wanted to share this latest batch of photos. I couldn't decide which pics to post, so there are a bunch. 
Not much else is new...I went for another long run today--I'm up to 7 miles in my half-marathon training!!! May 24th is sneaking up on me! And we're 2 weeks away from the Nashville trip during our April vacation from school. Can't wait! Without further adieu, here's Will...

Decked out in green and white in honor of MSU.
He really had no idea what was happening on the TV behind him. We try not to let him watch TV too often!

Will was very interested in watching Justin's reactions to the game--except for the loud cheering!

Erin and Jut,

Cool, I'm the first to comment this time!!

Maria and I are lounging poolside in Cancun, and loving these new pics!

Funny about Justin having to watch the game across the street. I can see how the primitive ritual of cheering would frighten a little baby, but try a little beer in his bottle next time there's a game on, and I'm betting he yells right along with Papa! Hey, it worked with Uncle Hayden, even though he was a little older at the time.....

I'm really hoping I can clear my desk before April 16, so I can come with Mom to Nashville. I miss you guys a lot.

Love,

Poppi

Hi Baby! Poppi and I are in Mexico, and having a great time! I promise you, that YOU WILL join us in the near future......we must work on our Spanish though. It'll help when it comes time to head to "market". Of course you and I will play in the waves, and barter with the vendors on the beach. I love you, miss you, and really want you here to see Poppi in a bathing suit!
Love from Mexico
Maria

Hola Will
I just wanted to let you know that I've found several little friends for you to play with on the beach! Actually, I've been here with their parents several times, and they've offered up a condo just for you & elliott. We can swim in the pool, find shells on the beach, and paint pottery, if you'd like! We'll have lots of fun together while mommy & daddy work on their tans!

Happy First Easter Will!
I know mommy's going to post a picture or two of you in your Easter clothes today but "Grammy" couldn't wait to wish you a happy Easter......
Do you wanna know something? When daddy was little he was ALWAYS looking for his Easter treats early. Well, the "bunny" put them in the trunk of her Easter Mobile,and they MELTED! Only the bunny's bow, and carrot were still, well, intact. Ok little boy, that's your Maria's story for the day.
I'll be seeing you soon. We can "talk" then.
xoxoxoxo from me & the bunny
