wordless wednesday

one of my (many) new year's resolutions was to post on the blog at least twice a week.  one needs only to scroll a short way down to realize that hasn't happened.  (but i have been flossing daily!  score at least one upheld resolution for sara!)  so i thought i'd resurrect Wordless Wednesday, in an attempt to document our lives a little bit better than i have in recent months.

davidson joined richmond's conference this year in basketball, and while i don't know if this will always be the case, they wound up playing twice in january -- once at davidson, where they beat us by fourteen, and then two weeks later at richmond on a saturday evening.  months ago i bought tickets for the four of us to drive up and go to the game, arranging for us to stay with my college best friend / sorority sister alison and her family.  looking back, i now realize that chris accepted this proposal because he was confident it would be a fun game for him to watch; never did the thought enter his mind that his wildcats might lose to my spiders.

it was never even close.  the final score:  richmond - 89, davidson - 63.  (and husband - miserable.)

me with a spider headband (which garnered lots of compliments, i have to say), liam in his richmond shirt, susanna with a UR hairbow ... and chris with his davidson colors (and a forced smile on his face).  
yep, that ratio seems about right

susanna seems to have met her match in the creativity department with alison's three girls.  here are the winners of the air hockey "tournament" -- complete with medals around their necks and atop a makeshift three-tiered podium just like in the olympics.  elise won gold; liam, silver, and there must have been a tie between susanna and hunter for bronze.
