Notre Dame 2010

We spent a wonderful weekend at Notre Dame for the Pitt game two weeks ago.  Seriously, I think I've waited about my whole life to see my kiddos chasing after a football together at ND.  It is such a special place in my life and I was just thrilled to share it with my family.  We were so lucky to spend the weekend with Kate, Dan, Liam and Bridget Kelly.  Kate has been a dear friend since our freshman year at ND and their hospitality was so gracious and made the weekend that much more special.  We also saw the Lee's on Saturday which was the icing on our great weekend.
