Another Sure Sign of Spring
The NHL playoffs are here! (What..you were expecting me to talk about plants?)
Alex is just under 2 months old now, and it’s his turn to sport the Winged Wheel for the playoffs. All four of our kids now have worn this outfit (and we have photos of each one sleeping in it!). It’s now a family heirloom—one of those things I’ll frame one day once it’s not being worn anymore and look back on how tiny they all were once upon a time.
You may be wondering if it’s a good luck charm—well, that remains to be seen. Emily wore it in 2004, and the Wings lost in the second round to the Calgary Flames. Sarah wore it in 2005, but there were no playoffs due to the NHL lockout. But …Elizabeth wore it last year, and we won the Cup. What will happen this year? I’m guessing it will begin with a trouncing of the Blue Jackets, but, then again, I’m biased 
Let’s Go Red Wings!!

How sweet and look at him grow! We love the Red Wings here at the Brown House, my husband grew up in Windsor and spent many winter evenings with his father at the Detroit games. We watched the playoffs from my hospital bed after I gave birth to #2 son in 1995! I think that it would be cute to put the pictures of the kids sleeping in the outfit together with the outfit when you frame it. GO WINGS!
