Our Niners

Six weeks ago our 49ers met the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl and unfortunately lost. However, we are still so proud of them and enjoyed watching them play throughout the season. It was extremely difficult to watch Alex Smith go down with a concussion and then be benched after the wonderful season he was having, especially knowing that the "Tracie Jersey Curse" was the cause of the tragedy. But they remain our Niners team so we cheered for the new quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, and Savannah fell in love! She even has his picture as her IPod Touch wallpaper, crazy girl. The Friday before the Super Bowl the kids sported their Niners gear to show their support which was pretty brave considering where we live.

Savannah and I even painted our nails red and gold.

When the Niners lost Xander started bawling and it about broke my heart. The poor little guy just cried and cried and was still crying when David put him to bed. But that's what sports can do to you. We have stayed true to this team through the good years and the many recent bad years and we'll be cheering for them once again in the fall. We sure do miss our football!
