And to think I was dismayed before about a month passing without a blog! I'm embarrassed to calculate the time from my last entry until now. Oh well, my new resolution is to do what I can and just not worry about it. Come to think of it, that is my new resolution in general! We are having a nice weekend here in GP. The chill is off and the sun is out just enough to hint at spring. Sending the kids outside does not require half and hour of finding and putting on gear. Also, we had a pretty open weekend for a change. Not completely open - I don't think that's even possible for us. But open enough to enjoy wide expanses of unplanned time. Heavenly really, even if the time is not used as efficiently as I dream it could be.
Saturday morning we were at a Middle School swim meet. Our middle schools have never had their own swim teams. The high schools do and there are year-round swim clubs that utilize the system's pools, but never an opportunity to swim for the middle school itself. A motivated and energetic member of the high school boys' swim team changed all of that this year and inspired a new swim league. My daughter is really enjoying swimming for her school. And every new experience teaches her new things about strokes, conditioning, stretching.
We are now calling her Jaws, thanks to a friend's father. I'm sure the pictures above give you a clue to why.
