You may have noticed the handsome "timer" in Jake's lane who leans in for some last minute advice...Connor Edward decided not to swim this year, but has been his brother and sister's biggest fan. Today he was asked to help be a timer...he was happy to jump in to assist!
Also today, Kate Anastasi shaved ELEVEN seconds off her backstroke time...we were so proud of her! As you watch the clip (she's in the second lane)...are you thinking what I'm thinking? "Bob...she can't hear you!" :-) I shouldn't tease, because speaking of biggest fans...the kids know their Dad is always there cheering them on!
We spent a lot of time around the house this week...I was cleaning and sorting clothes in drawers and closets (I took SEVENTEEN bags to consignment!!) and the kids were playing with friends...I feel like they've had more time with friends this summer and are very happy to be at home in the backyard or the basement playing "Impossiball" or "Balltag" or "Wiffleball"... there are always lots of kids around and they seem to have a ton of fun. We did venture out to a free movie this week...we saw "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and last night my parents took us to see the Fredericktowne Players production of Annie...we all really enjoyed it.
We are headed to the Keys game to celebrate Jake's birthday on Tuesday...and then we're headed to Pat and Chip's cottage on Wednesday...Robert and Kim and Wes and Mandy will join us Thursday...and we'll all be together until Saturday night when Bob, Robert, Kim, the kids and I head to the beach...we'll be back Sat, Aug 8th! I'll have tons of pictures to share upon our return...
Until then...
