Babies, Bugs and Baseball

The season has begun! David is playing for the Braves this year. Looks like he'll be on 2nd base. We had his first game tonight (don't ask the score) and since Matt was out of town I had to go it alone. Josh was gracious enough to stay at home with Joe and Seth since it was an 8pm game, but Annabeth had to come since we are attached at certain body parts. Those of you that live here in the low country know about the gnats that bite, for those of you that don't, EEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHG! That is probably the best way to phrase it. I know it is time for ball season when you smell the distinctive fragrance of OFF in the air. I applied to myself, I sprayed the stroller down and I misted over the baby but tried to avoid getting the stuff on her. You know it was futile, I was eaten alive. Thank you Father that the things spared the baby. Play Ball!!!!

March Madness About to Blow Away

This is it! I am listening to the opening announcer for the NCAA Championship game. That means that in about 2 to 3 hours the madness will be gone. I am so ready for the sanity to return. My normally mild-mannered husband turns into a raging, Carolina blue lunatic around the time March rolls around. I think he wears the leotard under his clothes and reveals them during the warm-up. If Carolina only knew what a gold-mine they had right here for an armchair coach, the team would be undefeated! You at home can't see him but he is hunched forward in his chair breathlessly waiting for the next shot. I know if things get dicey later in the game, he'll be on all fours beating the floor to urge the team on. And all you people thought you knew Matt!
