March Madness Begins



Roman's arrival couldn't have had better timing for Jason since his paternity leave matched up perfectly with the start of March Madness. This is a man who would take off 2 days every year from work for the opening days of the tournament. So needless to say, we are snuggled up on the couch and ready to watch lots of basketball. I actually love watching basketball and betting, so we have our brackets filled out and ready to cheer.


We entered our brackets into Jason's work pool, but we also have a side bet. Whoever scores higher will get to pick where we head for our 1st weekend away with Roman. (I know it is a little while away, but gives me good motivation to get into the tournament.) Jason is excited to teach Roman all about the game.

Roman is all set-up with a front row seat. He is cheering for Cal and ASU, but knows they both have tough games to play.


Here are our brackets:

Heather

FINAL 4: Louisville, Missouri, Villanova, North Carolina
Champion: North Carolina


Jay

FINAL 4: Louisville, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, North Carolina
Champion: Louisville



Who do you have winning it all?

What perfect timing for Jason and for you! It's nice to see you guys settling into being a new family. He is just a doll Heather and you look great! Hopefully soon we will be snuggling with our little guy! Xo

Wow...you guys are intense! I think it's nice that you have learned to embrace Jason's passion for basketball. I should try to do this with Knute. It would probably make life a lot easier.

Love the new pictures of Roman. He is too cute! Can't wait to get my hands on him tomorrow. xoxo

My Final Four is the exact same as Jason's, even the result...hope you both want to choose Denver for your getaway...but Roman's invited as well.
