The Worleys

Let me start with the most important First for the Worleys this year!  Ava's first day at preschool!! Ever!!  She started at Young Childrens World at her church this year.  She will be in the Two year old class.  Here she is with her new lunch bag all ready to go to school.  Jay and Sarah both took her.  They said she just bounced on in and started playing.  Good Girl!  The teacher said she was very good. This is the same preschool that Jenni attended.  And she pretty much bounced right in, too.  Starting a Worley Tradition at YCW! The next most important FIRST! First home game for the Longhorns! And of course, we were there! It was a night game, so we opted to stay overnight, rather than drive home at 11 pm!

We had seats on the goal line, about 25 rows up from the field.  We could see the band from our seats, and sometimes we could actually hear them!     The Rice Band was unusual.  They were unusual when I was in school way back when.  Always fun to watch!  They were called a marching band, but they did not actually march! Loved the hats on the band!    They reminded me of New Orleans.  The cymbals guy was rocking out most of the time. This is shot from our sea
