As we do every year (2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010), this morning I sat down with Maile to fill out her March Madness bracket. This year, Lauren joined in the fun too! (We gave her a pass last year as she was only 10 weeks old!)

Last year, Christine and I had Maile sufficiently brainwashed that she took Duke to win it all. Alas, as we’ve learned this year our influence is wanning already and Maile had her own ideas. Her Final 4 of Eastern KY (15 seed), Villanova (2 seed), San Diego St (4 seed) and Wofford (15 seed) is definitely unique. Let’s just say if she nails that, she’s in a good spot to win Warren Buffet’s billions!

As for Lauren, Daddy had to interpret things a bit more, but she ended up with a Final 4 of VCU (5 seed), Michigan St (4 seed), San Diego St (4 seed) and Louisville (4 seed). She has Louisville over VCU in the final game. Here’s some video of Lauren filling out her very first bracket:
