Here are some pictures of the Moo (and her friend and teammate Genevieve) at the Moo's very first swim meet ever! Mom had to miss it, as Moo had committed to attending a friend's birthday celebration in Williamsburg over the weekend, so the task of getting her there and cheering her on feel to Dad and the Bean. The Moo did GREAT! She competed in the six and under category in freestyle and backstroke, and she was the youngest one at the meet. Out of six girls, she finished fifth in freestyle and fourth in backstroke, which completely exceeded our expectations. Dad talked to her coach who told Dad that she thought the Moo was doing great. The Bean was a great girl for Dad, especially considering that she and Dad spent four hours at the pool in order to watch the Moo in two short races. Since this was the first time the Moo had done this, she did not realize that she only needed to go one length of the pool, and in her freestyle race she touched the wall, turned around, and started to head back to the other side. An older child ended up having to jump in and stop her about half way back, so that the next heat could take place. Dad said it was very cute -- way to go, Moo!!!!
Dad got the girls home and waited for Uncle J and his friends to arrive, so they could back up some things for our new nephew. Mom in the meantime was down at Williamsburg at a Spa and dinner for one of her best and longest friends, who turned 50 this past week. Mom got up early this morning and headed home to get to see J, and ended up spending about 20 minutes with him before he had to hit the road for the 12 hour drive back. Drive safe, Uncle J!!
Finally: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT P!!!! We hope you have a wonderful day and that all of your birthday wishes come true!!! We love you!
Way to go Molly Ann! We're very proud of you and think you look wonderful in your blue suit!!! We wish we could have been there to cheer you on. Keep up the good work and never stop trying! We're also glad that Mom took some time for herself and to be with her friends. You are entitled to a life and should take more opportunities to focus on YOU! Congratulations, Dad for taking such good care of your girls and handling all the things you do so well. Miss Bean, you're such a good girl for supporting your sister and being a good daughter for your dad. This is a good family - one that shares, cares and focuses on what's important. We're proud of you all.
