Our Latest Wager

My family laughs at us because John and I are always competing on everything from Sudoku to knowing the title and artist of songs on the radio. So every year we join millions of others in "March Madness" and fill out our brackets and make a wager. This year the loser has to watch the kids for an hour on 5 different days so the winner can go to the gym! I have not been to the gym since Karis was born so I am pretty psyched that I have a pretty strong lead at the moment!! Of course, it is only luck. I pretty much make my picks based on the rankings (listed on the sheet) and the fact that I like the sound of Gonzaga, Xavier and Villanova and they are always in the tournament so they must be pretty good and I just happen to be partial to UNC and Kansas. Those two seem to always make it into my final four!! This year I have UNC picked as the winner - apparently President Obama does as well and he is quite the basketball person so maybe I am on the right track:)

he does exist!


Despite almost having given up altogether I have decided to give blogging one last try! A couple of people commented they were still waiting to hear if the baby had been born...! So here is a picture of Karis and "baby brother" also known as Stephen! He has been a super easy baby and such a blessing. And Karis really loves him!
