Alaina's basketball season came to an end at a team banquet (OK, it wasn't really a banquet; we had desserts and Gatorade). Alaina was named defensive player of the year, rebounding champion (9.1 per game) and winner of the Grizzly Heart award, given to the player who plays and practices with the most heart. Think Alaina was most excited about that one. She also was named second-team All-City by the league's coaches.
Laura, meanwhile, scored her first goal of the season in our first soccer game earlier this month. Then she had four teeth pulled as part of her orthodontics work. One of the teeth had not come down yet and was in the roof of her mouth, so the oral surgeon had to go get it. The one side of her face was swollen and bruised for several days, like she was the loser in a bar fight. She had to sit out our next game and our game last Saturday was snowed out (we got about 7 inches). I'm penciling her in for this week's game.
Conor will be coming back to Wichita this summer. He landed a reporting internship at The Eagle for eight weeks (and we're even paying him). The "favor in hell" doctrine was not a factor in the decision. I normally pick the interns, but I had another editor do it for me. His work at the Minnesota paper helped him land the job.
