On June 3rd, I had the chance to participate in IU's
second annual Women's football clinic at Memorial
Stadium. It was a great opportunity to learn more
about football (about which I'm fairly clueless,
still) and run around with a bunch of other women who
love sports. At the end of the day, Eric came to pick
me up with Ian in tow, and we had the chance to meet
the head coach Terry Hoeppner (a.k.a. Coach Hep) and
get a picture taken with him. Eric was sitting in the
shade with Ian on the edge of the field while we were
finishing up with our drills, and Coach Hep's
daughter came up to take a look at the baby. She
mentioned that her dad was a "sucker" for babies. Her
mother, Jane, saw the baby from across the field,
too, and had to come over as well. They both thought
it would be a wonderful idea to get a picture taken,
and called their dad and husband over to us. He was
very excited about meeting Ian and was happy to stop
for a minute to talk to us. The picture is catalogued
in both our "Us" photo album on this website, as well
as Ian's photo album. It was a fun experience. We
joke that it was Ian's first "unofficial visit" to
IU.
