On the Way Home...

As you can see, Delia bounces back from her team's loss very quickly.
Here she is smiling at the infant mirror in the back seat that looks like a monkey.

Well, as Grady said, Delia just experienced her first of many disappointments in Mississippi State sports. All in all, it was a great trip and we got to see some good basketball. State beat Oregon in the first round of the tournament, so we stayed to see them play in the second round on Sunday. State was thisclose to tying it up with Memphis with a 3-pointer at the buzzer, but we missed the shot. Now we are on the way home and thanks to Grady's fancy pants wireless internet card, I am uploading pictures in the car on the interstate! Pretty cool! This will definitely make the 5-hour trip go by a little faster.

Since the Nolans were going to live it up in Branson this weekend, we left Thursday night so we could visit with them that evening and Friday morning. Delia got to meet her cousins Emily, Regan, and Aubrey, who stayed up late to see us when we arrived. About 80% of Delia's clothes are adorable hand-me-downs from these sweet girls!

Grady, how do you feel about sitting in THE top row?

On Saturday we drove to Ward to stay with my brother Gerald and his wife Sarah. Their puppies Sophie and Sebastian were fascinated with Delia! We got the tour of Ward,then drove into nearby Cabot for dinner at Brick Oven Pizza. We rented Dan in Real Life, which was a really cute movie. On Saturday, we lounged around with Delia all morning, then celebrated Easter with a Mexican lunch at El Acapulco.

I am keeping my eye on those puppies!

Switched seats for Sunday's game! Much better view!
