Decisions, Decisions



As Owen's parents we are making a statement to announce our son's neutrality for his love of baseball teams!

Jeremy comes from a long line of Cubs baseball lovers. I come from a long line of Cardinals baseball lovers. Both sides of the fence are strong defenders of their side. Sometime after our marriage, Jer and I made a deal. I'd cheer on the Bears, if he would cheer on the Cards. (I think I got the better end of the deal...but that's just me!) At any rate, I know first hand the love of enjoying games at Busch Stadium. The sights, the sounds, the smells. A hot dog and a cold beer. Ahh...baseball bliss! I'm sure Cubs fans feel the same way about stepping into Wrigley Stadium at the beginning of each new season.

That being said, we have decided to teach Owen about the love of baseball, rather than one team over another. And to respect everyone's opinions about both teams. If in the end, he picks one over the other, it'll be his choice. But until he's old enough to know, understand and make a clear choice for himself...you will see Owen toting his St. Louis Cards sippy cups as well as wearing his Cubs sweatsuit!

Go Baseball!

I think that the O man looks like Grandpa Dave in this picture...Not that I've ever saw Grandpa Dave in a diaper before...But, you know what I mean.
