Weekend's End

The tourney is over, and we ended in fourth place after a tough loss against Minnetonka. It was such a loss, that after a 9 point lead, they did not bother to keep score of additional goals. I guess it was a way to help us save face? No matter. We were all very proud of our boys......they are all such good sports. The defeat was OK for them, even if it was not their first choice of events! The difference with the loss today was that Minnetonka beat us fair and square and cleanly...no ugliness on the ice....just pure and simple hockey. They all were fantastic skaters, and we could learn a lot from the hockey program they run.

We ended the weekend on a positive note with a stop at La Casita, with a few of the other families, before heading back home. The boys , and us adults too, enjoyed our time, and appreciated some of the fun stories passed back and forth making us laugh. Bob & I had actually gotten to enjoy this restaurant yesterday also, as we stole away for a quiet lunch with our baby. It was a great way to end our time together.

We met up with our cute little girls and Alex at church. Laura gives the best hugs when she's missed you! They seemed to have enjoyed their "sleepovers" in the library with Grandma, and Alex had been a great kid-sitter too: even making meals for the girls. It was nice to be back together as a family again. And it only took 2 minutes in the car together before they were back to fighting!!
