MS 72, NC 89

Carolina = National Champs!!! Since moving to Ohio its hard to find many Tarheel fans. Occasionally I will see someone walking with a UNC sweatshirt or hat, but it's rare. On those occasions...I have a strange urge to run over & say hey...are you from NC too? I'm usually not so brave.

I hardly ever see a basketball game anymore esp one with blue & white, but when the kids finally drifted off last night...I headed for the basement to watch the final game. Mad woke up just after halftime, but it was pretty clear Carolina was going to be National Champs.

I usually laugh at the Buckeye mania during football season, but today I can sort of relate to my neighbors buckeye flags waving & wearing team colors. I miss talking to Marie...my teacher asst. & (the biggest Carolina fan I've ever known). I thought about her last night & knew she was loving it!!!

I'm also jealous John's in NC this week...I'm sure hearing the buzz of Carolina fever!! Hope he can bring us back some warmer weather...it's barely 30 & snow flurries out there..but I did get "a shout out" in our driveway!!

April 2005

Silly & sleep deprived....I remember when I took this...Maddie was only a few weeks old. I love looking back & remembering how much they've changed & grown in just a few years.

Sunny Sunday

Today was sunny & warm...warm enough to be outside for most of the afternoon. Jack found a bird nest & Moo found a nice warm place to snooze. :0

First Game & Lunch

Clear blue skies this morning, but it was so windy & cold on the field for our first game. They played great despite the chilly wind and Jack had so much fun. He also loved having lunch with Y,P,& Adeana.

Soccer Ahead...

Soccer season starts tomorrow, but practice started last Thurs. When I saw all the returning kids at practice last night, I thought about how much they have grown just over the winter months. Sometimes I just want to stop time..or just slow it down alittle.

A Trip to Jeni's

Jeni's Ice cream opened in Dublin yesterday. A pretty famous family-run Columbus spot for yummy ice cream. They now have 5 locations!! I'm usually not a lover of ice cream, but its hard not to like Jeni's. It's all homemade right here in Ohio & they have totally unique flavors. Plus the atmosphere is pretty cool too. So after ballet today instead of our usually trip to Wendi's for Maddie's jr. frosty, we went for Jeni's. Mad's choice - Belgium Milk Chocolate & Kelly's- Pistachio Honey. YUM!!
