Firsts

Despite the fact that most of the "firsts" end after the first two years of a child's life, a few still creep in from time to time. I like these "firsts" even more than the ones of those first years. I think it's just that because they are so rare, they seem more special. This weekend we had two of them! And if for no other reason, that made it such a fun weekend! (more on Sunday's "first" in the next post). Saturday some good friends gave us tickets to the FSU game. Among the highlights, we played Boston College and won by the skin of our teeth. What was so monumental about this? Outside of my body, this was Maddie and Zoe's first FSU game! Steve has been to a game or two since the girls were born but the last time I was at Doak Campbell, I was about 30 weeks pregnant with the little monsters my sweet angels. I hiked my preggo bottom up all those stairs and planted it for a horrible game against Clemson. We lost that night and I delivered the girls about two weeks later. Somehow in the last four years of raising twin girls, attending football games has lost rank in the list of priorities. So like every good Seminole mother should do, I decked my little monsters little angels out in garnet and gold and off we went to our first game. The oufits: score one for mom. The game: minus ten for mom. It was a noon game and unfortunately my angels didn't tolerate the scorching sun in their eyes. Dad got to enjoy the game and I got to enjoy playing on the ramps inside the stadium with my favorite girls.  Aren't they precious?
