Orange and Blue

We are an FSU family. At our wedding reception, the groomsmen entered the room to The War Chant. When we moved to Mississippi, we hung our FSU flag with pride and blared our fight song from the car stereo at game time. When our son was born, my husband insisted he wear a Seminole onesie home from the hospital which I had to make because you can't get them small enough. His first crocheted baby blanket was garnet and gold. Along with doggies, kitties, ducks, and sheep, we are teaching him "what a Seminole says". I once put a cute blue designed Osh Kosh T-shirt on the child with a pair of orange shorts. His dad came home and said, "What is my son wearing?!" I changed him immediately. You get my point.
Our beloved brother-in-law is one of our favorite people despite the fact that he is a Gator fan. The first time he came over to visit Brock, we made sure our boy was ready.  Uncle Mikey was ready, too.
My dear cousins are gator fans, too (bless their hearts). Because of this (and Tim Tebow), my Mimi became part of the Gator Nation.  Oh how she loves to rib my hubby.  Whether we win or lose, we can count on antagonistic phone calls and emails from her throughout football season. Her best move to date has been a blanket she made for Brock. Check out the personalized touch.
The gator is chomping a Seminole spear...in his dreams :)

Well, from here on out, this is the closest thing to Gator orange and blue this kid will ever wear :)
