Where's Olivia?

Here I am Daddy!

Hats make my head itch!

We try to go to at least one Red Sox game a year and Friday night was our time. This was Olivia's third Red Sox game. She has long outgrown her original Red Sox gear so we outfitted her in new Red Sox Nation attire and headed south to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. The game started at 7:10 p.m. and after Victor Martinez's two homers the Sox bested the Tampa Bay Rays with a 3-1 final. Unfortunately, it was the only game in the series the Red Sox would win. Maybe we were the good luck charm and should've gone to all three.

Livi, naturally, looked adorable and despite the lack of smiles in the pictures was all grins most of the night. She happily clapped and cheered no matter which team was doing well - we're teaching her about that. She'll get it soon enough. And once again she quickly became a fan favorite throughout the night. She also really enjoyed spending quality time with Uncle Rich (darn it if we didn't get pictures of the two of them - or him at all. Stupid, stupid, stupid.) who is surely going to teach her some ball skills when she gets bigger. It was a great family night out, indeed.

To make the night better, the Yankees lost their game, too. But once again unfortunately, they won their other two games over the weekend. We won't give up hope. It's not over yet. Go Sox!
