Gameday...

During our trip to Auburn this weekend we stopped by the Loden's new house and introduced ourselves to the newest member of their family, Nathaniel McKay Loden. Nathaniel is just over 7 weeks old in this picture with his mom and dad, Nathan and Raquelle.


Nate has taught me some swaddling techniques that are sure to come in handy when Emily comes in January. Check out their tightly wrapped bundle of joy. Nathaniel also agreed to let me hold him long enough for Nate to snap his picture with me and Amy.


I'll be sure to hold on to this picture as it may be worth some money when Nathaniel becomes the youngest American to be potty trained. It seems Nate has happened across some secret Japanese potty training techniques. I'm probably not even supposed to be telling you this, but if it works, look for little Emily to be flushing her own by this time next year ;)


Emily either slept through much of the Auburn/Washington St. game, or was just very quiet like many of the tailgaters we saw across campus on Saturday. It didn't appear that many of the fans had forgotten the opening week loss to Georgia Tech last year and/or the loss to USC in 2003, which was the last time the Tigers were ranked this high to begin the season. Hopefully the big win this weekend will ease the nerves somewhat, but LSU is less than 2 weeks away.


An eagle and two cranes. Both very symbolic of Auburn University.

War Eagle on the victory. I hadn't forgotten last year and had nervous butterflies during this game. I felt much better as we made it look more and more like a blow out. As for the secret potty training, we probably won't be rushing Mother Nature :)
