The growing Roza family: The Avalanche hockey game

I've been a huge Colorado Avalanche hockey fan since 2002. When my team comes into town to play the San Jose Sharks, I make sure I get to at least 1 game a year. 6 months ago I bought tickets for the game on 2/19/11. When I bought the tickets last year, I had always planned on bringing our baby. But Lilah was only 2 months old when it came time to go to the game. And she's still so tiny, and she requires so much care, we just didn't feel comfortable bringing her. I wish we could have though! She would have looked so cute in a Colorado Avalanche outfit!!
So we made the trek to Concord - Lilah's first time in Concord. We stayed overnight at my mom's house (since it was an evening game), and my mom watched Lilah for us while we were at the game. It was our first time being away from Lilah and going out on our own without her. I was nervous being away from her! Of course I trusted Lilah with my mom and I knew Lilah would be very well taken care of. But still, it was hard on us to leave Lilah behind. Before leaving for the game, we had an early dinner with the rest of the family, who was in town for the weekend.
Then off to the game we went! Once we got to the arena in San Jose, I had to pump my milk before we could go in. I also had to pump in the car on the way home. Thank goodness it was dark out by then!! Pumping in a moving vehicle was quite an adventure. Edward and I had fun at the game. But unfortunately my team lost. The Av's have been playing terribly the last 2 months, so I wasn't really expecting much. We arrived home to find Lilah in Gramma's arms, just about ready to fall asleep. I happily snatched her up and rocked her to sleep!
That next day we drove over to Brentwood to spend some time with Edward's parents. Lilah was snatched up by her other grandma immediately upon our arrival! It was nice to spend the afternoon with them and enjoy a nice meal before heading home.
