Of Basketball and Biscuits

I know everyone is blurry but Anna but she's the star to us so it's okay

Another action shot of Anna and in the front is teammate and very sweet girl, Gabby

Hope's new love is making biscuits--eating them is an old love. 
She's gotten really good at it.  We have a cute new
apron for cooking--teapots and cabbage roses
on it.  I'm sure we'll post a picture soon.


We traveled to Tulsa for a tournament the weekend of the 12th and 13th.
I have named this, "The Tournament That Should Never Have Been".
To begin with, we drove through POURING RAIN to Tulsa
at dusk, mind you with trucks and crazy cars everywhere.
Fortunately we were also in the company of a host of angels :).
That night in our first game against the meanest best girls'
varsity team in Oklahoma, we were beaten up and beaten by them.
In the process, Destinee, a sweet teammate of Anna's, through no fault of her own
was pushed and then trampled under the basket resulting in staples to the back
of her head and a concussion.  Shook up the team, parents, and anybody else that was there.
Because of her trauma and ours, no one in our hotel room was able to relax and peacefully drop off
to sleep.  LONG NIGHT may I say.  The game the next morning wasn't a lot more fun as the
opposing team had a knee injury but I must say it was an exciting game and we won. And
no one was sad to leave Tulsa and come home.
Not much new going on here.  I'm posting this for recording purposes and to have pictures for memories not because it's terribly exciting to anyone except us.  But that's all that matters, right?
