Bad hair day

I couldn't resist the photo opportunity this morning when Lauren woke up with this great hairdo. I also thought it would make a great lead-in for a post about our week.

Saturday was a low point for the girls' basketball team as they aquired their first loss in 43 games, ending their season and chance of a repeat state championship. Needless to say, it was not the happiest day for those involved. However, we were able to leave early for our trip up to Cleveland, which was not a bad thing.

On our way up to Cleveland, Lauren got sick and threw up in the car...not fun. But we are pretty sure it was just car-sick since she seemed fine the next day. Although we didn't learn too much, we did have a good visit and Allison didn't want to leave ("...but I love Katelyn"--in a whiny voice).

While Lauren seems to be doing fine, Allison has developed a bit of a cold/flu. So she has just been miserable the past few days. I am glad to say she did make it to preschool today (she missed yesterday). So far this month she has missed more days than she has gone. Oh well.

Well, not the most exciting post but now you know what we've been up to! As a side note, it looks like we will be naming our new baby "Darkalavla".

Cool! It sounds very Russian. Too bad about the game. I guess you can't win 'em all.

Oh poor girls! Sorry about the game too, but seems like you had a good time in Cleveland.

That picture of Lauren is so cute! I'm sorry about the girls getting sick and the game not going well! I hope you have a good weekend to help recuperate!

Julie, hey, it's Amy (Lofgran) Hymas! I was so excited to see your blog (from Lisa's) - yes, I am one of those bloggers! haha It was fun to catch up with your family!

p.s. love the baby names! Our daughter Chelsey came up with baby names for us, too. Her favorites were Mario, Luigi, and Super Why. We finally told her no Nintendo or PBS names!
