Hello Family!

Hello all Lance's:
I actually forgot about this blog and decided I better check out who's been on. I see only Mark has been and that was a month ago.

So I will update you on our Lance Family happenings!

This weekend Krista is going to STATE for her 50 free and she's also in 2 relays, the 200 medley relay which she does the 50 free and she's in the 400 free relay which she does a 100 freestyle. We have 9 girls going this year (which is the most we've had since I've been swim mom, 6 years) and our diver should win the top award. I guess we'll see. It's in Fort Collins and Stephanie usually comes to see Krista swim but she won't this year. We are going to see her roommate, Stella and her cat Lillie!

Krista also made "Swimmer of the Year" from our league which is 7 teams. It was awesome and a real surprise to all of us. She gets a plaque. Our swim banquet is March 2 and it's an end of an era for me. I've been doing swim meets for 17 years!! Since Stephanie was 7 years old. Hard to believe. Hopefully, I will still be able to go to some of them if Krista swims at CU on their club team. I'll go to the home ones in Boulder. She has been accepted at CU Boulder and will be studying architecture and interior design.

We have not heard from Stephanie since she left Puerto Rico. She was in Brazil for Carnival (like Mardi Gra here) but she said she had a big test while they were at sea on the way to Cape Town. I'm anxiously awaiting an e-mail from her telling us of her adventures in Brazil. I e-mailed her about Krista's "Swimmer of the Year" and she wrote me a quick e-mail saying she'd e-mail soon. It is only about a month before we go to Vietnam and I'm so excited, I can't wait.

We may be in Ohio the end of July so if anyone wants to come and see us we would love it. We will have to go to Sandusky for a few days (one being Cedar Point for sure) so if anyone wants to join us that would be awesome. Phil Rice's 50th birthday is July 30 and Lisa is having a party for him (hopefully in their new house) so that's why we would be coming back. The girls will be working and Steph is taking classes so I'm not sure how it's going to work for them. We are also going to Lake Powell June 11 or something like that. Then Steph starts her classes at CSU so we won't really see her the rest of the summer.

Larry was in LA yesterday and today, getting home after midnight tonight. He said his deals didn't go too well today. I'm going to send this e-mail to all the family also because it looks like no one is using this blog of Hayley's. Charlotte is getting so big. She is really cute! Hopefully we can see her this summer.

Well, I'm ready for sleep so I will sign off now. Everyone take care and e-mail or blog soon!

Love,
Carol
