Tour de Cute

For three weeks each July, B rallies extra early to watch live coverage of the Tour de France. And this year, he had not one but two little buddies watching with him.

At first, Hope would insist on changing the channel (politely denied) but eventually settled into watching "bicycle races" with Daddy. She cheerily rooted "Go Andy! Go Alberto!" and even managed to identify several top riders by the colors of their jerseys. ("Go Sammy!" "Sammy's wearing oranges!") We learned that Hope and Alberto Contador share a birthday, so were not surprised when she ultimately announced "You like Andy...I like Alberto!" Zane was rooting as well...or perhaps just teething...but he sure looked dapper in his TDF schwag.
