Like the headline read....it was unbelievable. After a very ho-hum Championship game where it looked like Montreal had all but given up, the winds shifted in the last 10 minutes of the final quarter and we pulled off a win.The 97th Grey Cup win!
It had been a great year for the Montreal Allouettes. They were a shoe-in to win the Grey Cup (Canada's, sort of, equivalent to the SuperBowl).
Now if anyone is wondering....hmmm.....I wouldn't have pegged Wanda for a football fan - you'd be right. I'm not. However, Danny is. But he hasn't allowed himself the pleasure of watching the game in years. He played football in University but that was it. He's also the type to never take a break, let down his hair and chill. Rarely will he give himself something for pleasure.
I, on the other hand, can find pleasure in an ant crawling along the windowsill (on the outside) so it thrilled me when he started watching the Als this season. And I started making him watch the games as he really enjoyed it (ergo: I enjoyed him more.....get it?!)
Then Dahlia really got into it and would ask....so, are the Als playing this week-end? There's something awfully cute about a 6 year old asking when the game is on.
And so, we all watched. And I even got some of it. Especially when Danny would shout for glee and the popcorn would go flying.
Avon Cobourne, Alouette's running back did a fine job.Mighty fine!
Quarterback Anthony Calvillo.
Armchair Quarterback Milana M. (on a popcorn break?)
Runningback Dahlia M. and The Coach (Dad). 
Here comes the Grey Cup - carried by two fine Royal Canadian Mounted Police 
Ahh....victory is sweet!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

I can't imagine life without football. I am the fan in this house. Actually, my daughter and I are *ridiculous* when it comes to football in this house; until she got married, and she is now the big fan in her home. lol.

What a GREAT post, Wanda. I was cracking up when you said, What Wanda a football fan....that is exactly what I was thinking!

Congratulations, Montreal!
You mean Canada plays a sport other than hockey? Seriously, I feel so stupid that I didn't know Canada had a football team!
