Apparently cellar kids are awesome kids!
Lil' Pete got another silver over the weekend, losing the final to the club owner.

Hebe just placed 7th in the 50y breaststroke 11-12yo group -she's still 11 and there were 54 swimmers so that's pretty damn impressive. If she can shave a second or so off her time before March, she'll get to go to State championships.

Not really bragging, per se, but my grandson is just so cute. His mom let us copy over her digital archive, but due to technical glitches it took longer than expected.
He's about 9 months old, so no track meets, art classes, judo, etc. Just a shayna punim (pretty face).

Absolutely friggin ADORABLE!
Makes me want grandkids too. Of course, since my oldest is only 13, I think I better wait a while.  But damn, I'm gonna be a good grandma. As for my own kids, let's see . . . daughter's competitive cheer squad has had 3 competitions so far this season, each time earning 1st place. And these are real 1st place results too. I tell you this: sometimes in these competitions they set it up so teams are the only one in their particular category, so technically they're gonna get 1st place even if they all fall on their faces. So it's necessary to say this. 1st out of 5 or 6. They are really, really good. My son's wrestling season hasn't started yet and he's not done anything much in scouts this year. But . . . um . . . well, his grades this quarter don't totally suck, and that's an accomplishment for him, I guess.  He's a pretty good wrestler, though. |

Personal bests for Thor and Hector at swim championships today -places for Hector in all three individual events, for Thor in two. Hebe swims tomorow. Thor really rocked it out and blew his coaches away, as he hasn't really come close to his PBs at any of the dual meets this season

Hebe was 5th in breaststroke -as seeded- and blew everyone away with her IM -dropping 4 seconds (5%) from her PB -almost unheard of at this level, placing 13th after being seeded 20th. She just missed the places in the fly, but still finished 5 above her seed.
best Championships so far.... very happy parent here ....very happy kids, makes all the chorine hair and meals in the car worthwhile....

At the elementary school they had a teachers vs. fifth graders basketball game on Saturday as part of a pancake breakfast/bake sale/fund raiser thingy.
Young Master Dallas went for a rebound against his former 4th grade social studies teacher. She ended up with a twisted ankle and was driven to the emergency room by another teacher, and the teachers forfeited. |
