A First for Maddie

It was another first for the Lovett girls. Maddie and I attended her first Penguins game on Feb. 19th. Taking on the Montreal Canadiens, the Penguins played another great game!
Maddie was beyond excited as we drove to the arena. The joy flowed from her as she talked my ear off the entire way. Asking questions about the game, and telling me stories about her school day, time flew as we drove the hour long drive. Arriving just before the gates opened, we stood in line with all of the fans. Bouncing from the cold, or maybe the excitement, Maddie's face beamed!
Entering the arena, and viewing the pre-game skate, Maddie was in awe. Calling out the players, and telling me to look at each little thing, we waited until the drop of the puck.
From the first face-off, Maddie sat on the edge of her seat. Yelling, screaming, and jumping up to give me a high five, we had the time of our lives! Again, I am so glad to have shared this moment with my second oldest daughter. I am very thankful for this time that we had together, and can only hope that these times go on forever!
