A Surprise Update and the Usual

Tuff and I are expecting!  We are just over 12 weeks along now (picture is from 10 weeks, five days), placing our due date at March 24th.  I apologize to those of you I had to lie to upon being asked if I was pregnant or anything related.  We wanted to keep it a secret until now.  And we want to be surprised and not find out the gender.  We are very excited!

Now to our usual news.  Tuff has been doing a great job at work learning the CFL system with all its rule differences.  He is currently playing at cornerback and safety on practice squad.  We hope he gets a chance at punt returner and possibly wide receiver but so far no reps.  Mostly we hope he gets a chance on active roster.

Here are a few articles I found that local Edmonton papers wrote:

One of the articles mentions that Tuff brought with him fur lined boots because he made the mistake of thinking Canada was a year round tundra.  Actually Tuff was completely joking but they didn't get it.

Watch the Eskimos play this Friday versus the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on espn3.com at 7:30pm ET (live) or on NFL network at 3am ET!  Hopefully you have Tivo for the second option.
