Weekend Fun

Natalie had her first swim meet on Saturday. I was so nervous for her I thought I might be sick. I wasn't worried she wouldn't win, I just wanted her to do well (and not drown). Her first event was the backstroke. She did so well. She kept looking back to see if she was at the wall. She told John after the meet that she was so excited after the first race that she thought she was going to cry. Her next event was the freestyle. She did her first dive and did very well. She didn't get a ribbon, but she doesn't seem to care. I didn't think she was competitive,  but apparently she has inherited some of my family's trait because she told me today after practice that she WILL get a ribbon next time:) I'm just amazed that anyone can swim like that and not choke on water. I still have to plug my nose.

Now for my funny Nolan moment. As I have stated before, we have been looking at dogs for sale online and in the paper. Well, on Sunday there was a section in the paper with local babies. I pointed out our neighbor girl out to Nolan and he said, "why are they getting rid of her?" I burst out laughing of course because I realized he thought it was just another add in the paper. Of course we explained it to him and then we all had a good laugh. I'm glad he says these things out loud because I would hate for him to think people advertise babies in the paper.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer so far. It is going to fast, as usual!!!

Take care,

Karen
