Wowee!!! I know it doesn't feel like "spring" for many of you back home, but today we found GRASS to play on and this traveling trio couldn't be more pleased. It really does feel like the first day of spring on this beautiful campus in sunny, sunny Doha. Nory is soaking it all in :) (While the rest of us are soaking wet.....with sweat.....from chasing her...) Sounds romantic, eh?
We flew out of Kuwait yesterday evening, after a whirlwind day of 65 sheep heart dissections, some VERY LAST-MINUTE PACKING (I threw hair clips and socks into my backpack as we headed out the door), and a one hour flight delay. Nory rocked the flight (I keep holding my breath until the day she doesn't) and, despite having a live Falcon on board, the rest of us rocked it too! We made it to our hotel by 9 and Nory crashed at 9:15. She slept like a log until 5:58 this morning, too! Phewf.
We have been at the tournament all day today - making friends, storming the court during half-time's, and playing with anything we can get our hands on. The team definitely enjoys having Nory here and I think the other schools see her as some sort of a "team mascot". I suppose that's a fitting description ;) Phil's team has been working hard but has yet to secure a "W". They play again at 5:30, so please send all your warm wishes this way!
In other basketball news, with March Madness coming up, we are busy making our selections. We found THE BEST thing online for kids/people-like-me. You can find it HERE if you too would like to take this "March Madness" approach :) I think the lady who invented it is a genius!
Wishing you all a happy first day of spring and an even happier "WORLD HAPPINESS DAY"!!!
XOXO
