Daddy has been out of pocket the past three nights. On Monday night he spoke at a church out of town for a missions conference (topic: Where we got the Bible). Then on Tuesday morning he flew to Tampa for work and then to D.C. that night and due to cancelled flights he didn't get back until this morning (for a quick change and back out the door). But when he walked in, our eldest saw his dream come true- an FSU football helmet just his size! Daddy surprised him by getting him the full get up (just in time for Halloween!) Marky has worn it all day (he tried to wear it to art class, but I had to nix that). Our whole family loves FSU and we have the FSU band CD in our car. It is quite a treat to hear your four-year-old princess riding down the road singing, "We're gonna fight, fight, fight.....for FSU...we're gonna scalp 'em Seminoles....." We had season tickets when we were first married and went all the time, but having babies ended the trips to Tallahassee. We've stayed active in the Seminole Club here and Marc was president for years. We still go on Saturdays to watch the games with the club. Marc came home early enough tonight to have time to play ball with his little buddy. Thank you Daddy for making our boy SO HAPPY!
And tonight when I went to check on the sleeping babies I saw this.....
And in Marky's room.....he'd laid out his uniform just like he lays out his knights' armour when he puts them "to bed" in the castle. Guess he's thinking he can get another day of wear out of it and he'll be ready in case there is a football emergency in the night. :)

Donna, this is too cute! The uniform will only fuel the football passion!! We have the same phenomenon here at our house and are all ball, all the time. To see my hubby and his dad still connecting over football warms my heart because the same is happening with him and his boys!
All I can say is that these babies are growing up far too quickly. I've loved their babyhoods, toddlerhoods, and childhoods so much. I want to kiss Tuck Tuck, and Marky just looks like a high school football player. But such a sweet one! On the one hand, it's sad to see him looking so big. On the other, how proud I am of who he is!
