Lando

One of Lando's White Sox shirts

By the time you are reading this blog you have learned about your Dad's love of Chicago sports. By the way, you got an awesome White Sox shirt today while I was out finishing up Han Solo's shower gift. So I am also guessing you have figured out another of my addictions, shopping. (I so can't wait to see you in this shirt and your Dad can't wait to take you to your first Sox game.)

Part of Han Solo's gift, more on that later. . .

Well for the past week or so, your Dad has been asking for me to post this for you. It isn't often that he requests something related to the blog, so I am humoring him and will put it into this post. You should also know, while at Grandma Kathy's this weekend, Aunt Kristi asked when your Dad was actually going to post something on the blog, so we shall see how long it takes.

First Black Hawk's jersey

Lando, I know you are probably asking, "What is the point Mom?," I am getting there. About a week ago, while shopping, I made an awesome discovery. On a sale rack for 75% off, you know your Mom's love of a good sale, I found you your first Black Hawk jersey. That's right, the jersey we took your picture in every year until it actually fits, was found on June 8 of 2011, while we were waiting for you. I have to apologize now to you Lando, if you are a Landa, you will not have a pink jersey for any sport. At least that is what your Dad is saying now, we will so talk him into it at some point. If we don't, I am sure one of your grandparents, aunts, or uncles will see to it. (We will have to watch some relatives baseball related gifts though, we can't have you dressed for the wrong team.)

So this is what your first jersey looked like before it was well worn and loved. (I think your Dad is a little disappointed it isn't his favorite player, #2 Duncan Keith, but they didn't have Keith's jersey.) I know, Jonathan Toews is better than Keith, he is also my favorite Black Hawk.

We wanted you to know the story of how you got your first jersey. We know you are going to love wearing it and enjoy watching the Black Hawks with us. (Unless you are cheering on another team to bust your Dad's chops.)

We love you Lando and can't wait to have you with us! So you know, tonight's the first game of the cross town classic, so you know it is an important sports night here at the house.
