Love-Hate Relationships

Savannah and Isaiah have had an ongoing love-hate relationship with hats. The last couple week it has been all love. Isaiah has especially loved wearing hats anytime that Daddy has a hat.  He really likes the Ball State hat and Ball State shirt, mostly because the shirt says "ball". Savannah has been loving her costume hats and her baseball hat (Sue's pink St. Louis hat).

We went to another Sand Gnats game this week and it wasn't even Dollar Monday.  Saturday night was St. Joseph's/Candler school supply night though so we got free tickets for bringing school supplies.  We had talked about going to the game Saturday morning when driving by the stadium.  Isaiah was a little upset since we didn't go right then because he really wanted to see "Gnate Gnat". We had to tell him Gnate was still sleeping from the game on Friday night.  Now when we go by the stadium he says "shhhhh....Gnate Gnat" to make sure we don't wake him up.  Isaiah loves watching Gnate at the baseball games although we found out that too is a love-hate relationship.  He loves the large bug from a safe distance but up close he gets pretty intimidated.

And when Gnate hugs him Isaiah gets down right terrified. Granted it does kind of look like Gnate the Gnat might be coming to eat Isaiah.

The Saturday night games start an hour earlier than Monday games so we were hoping to make it to the ninth inning for the first time. Unfortunately the rain delays did not allow that to happen.  At least we still got to see the post-game fireworks from our front porch.
