A Win

After more than a year of competing, countless hours spent in hair and make up and some hard lessons on losing gracefully, La Nina's dance group won 1st place in a dance competition over the weekend.  I snapped this picture of her dance team and their teacher with their much coveted trophy.  Thankfully, the hardware lives at the studio.  Even better is that the girls now have learned you really do win some and lose some, up until now...it's been all "lose some." They did a great job on Sunday and we're all proud.  

Not to be outdone by her sister, the Magster took a soccer ball in the nose at her indoor soccer game.  Once the bloody nose stopped, she was back on the field.  All witnesses say she was quite the tough little trouper.  Unfortunately, I missed the whole episode.
