Day 26: Family Friends
In my family godparents were given the honorable title of aunt or uncle as did their spouses. We also used that title for the two URI professors whose home my parents married at. I don't recall my husband mentioning anyone other than the professor that his dad co-taught with for years.
We've continue the same tradition regarding our kids god-parents (at least this far). In addition there are a few other friends that kids refer to as aunt/uncle.
Day 27: Free choice
As I will be watching a lot of baseball this week I thought I would I write a bit about favorite teams. My dad was a Red Sox fan and raised me to be too. It continues to be a bit bittersweet to me that my dad missed seeing the Sox 'reverse the curse' by just a couple of months in 2004. We were Patriot fans, though living in Northern VA we would root for the Redskins (provided they were not playing the Patriots).
My husband is a Giants & Mets fan, also since childhood. Neither of us are die-hards and have even had some fun during the recent couple of Super Bowls where the pairing has been Patriots-Giants. I did not grow-up watching hockey; Charlie did so we root for the Devils.
Linking up at Not in Jersey for these 31 days
I grew up a Giants fan too. :)
ReplyDeleteGo Sox! My kids are split on the Patriots and Redskins because of us...I think they should be Patriots based on where we live (and they've always been my hometeam) but my husband thinks they should be Redskins based on he is the one that teaches them about football, and that is his team. It's an argument we will never win!
ReplyDeleteKids haven't chosen 'their' team yet, just really enjoy rooting for Mommy or Daddy's team.
