We’re A Colts Family

Our family has really been getting into the Colts games this year. Chloe and Emily have lived most of their lives in Indiana so they’ve really only known the Colts as their home team. Lisa and I grew up in Michigan so I guess you can call us turncoats. But seriously…

Happy Birthday Chloe

Happy Birthday Chloe

Today is my little Chloe’s birthday. I say little, but she’s not so little any more. She’s 8 years old today and is starting to come into her own more and more each day.
