Soccer Wrap Up

Last weekend wrapped up the 2010 soccer season for Min. As you see in the photo, she wore flip flops to the final game.

But, that said, she was thrilled to have a popsicle and get a trophy with her teammates at the end of the game!

Perfect summer weekend

Wow, what a great weekend. We swam, we barbequed, we hiked at Great Falls (the Maryland side), we sweated, we caught fireflies, we ate ice cream. Just perfect.

Here are Brodie and Margot along the C&O canal, during our afternoon hike to Great Falls.

Graduation Video

Look for Margot exiting from the stage. If this video finally loads, it will be a cyberspace miracle:

PreK Graduation

Where's Margot?

Post-graduation




This morning, Margot 'graduated' from preK. The cafeteria was packed to standing room only with parents and siblings of the 80 preK students, and we were treated to renditions of 'A You're Adorable,' 'Doe, a Deer,' and 'Curious.' I even said the Pledge of Allegience for the first time in probably 25 years.

Also, check out the video. While watching the video, pay close attention to the fourth grade band playing Pomp and Circumstance. It stole the show, in my mind.

Merry merry month of May

May has flown by with little time for posting. Here's a soccer update: last Saturday, Margot agreed to stand on the field, but wouldn't go anywhere near the ball. She also wouldn't run. She just kind of walked back and forth. While that qualifies as progress, we won't sign up for soccer again in the fall.

That said, M is now jumping into the pool on her own and swimming to the opposite side with no floatation devices at all. I'm glad she finds so much joy in swimming. Yesterday was her last "lesson," but she'll get to swim every day at camp and we're going to the pool more often to keep her skills up.
