Good Luck Charm

By now, it's no surprise that our Houston Texans pulled off a last-second stunning victory on the road in Cincinnati to become the division champs for the first time in franchise history. The local media are calling yesterday's win one of the top 10 all-time football wins in the city of Houston. It was AMAZING! And there was no more excited Houston fan than the 5-year-old in our house. Connor was beside himself during the game, and we all jumped and hugged for joy after that final touchdown that put the Texans ahead!

One of the big players of the day was Ben Tate, the Houston running back that is usually playing behind our top guy, Arian Foster. Last week when we were at the Galleria getting Santa pictures, we were about to head home when we noticed a small line forming at one of the sports memorabilia stores. We walked past the store and were surprised to see Ben Tate just inside the store! Connor was so excited and begged me to let him meet Ben Tate.



That's right, Connor met and shook the hand of #44 himself, Ben Tate.

So there you have it, the true explanation behind yesterday's Houston Texans' division-clinching victory over Cincinnati. Sure, our team is awesome, but Connor is one serious good-luck charm!

  1. I LOVE it!!! Laine came in the room yesterday and said, "Lauri and Jeff must be so happy because the Houstons won in the last few seconds of the game." I'm so glad that you guys got to enjoy watching the game and I know that Connor getting to meet #44 must have been such a huge thrill. How fun for your family
