Having some fun

Indy 500 is here!

Well at last for Kindergarten.  All the Kindergartner's at Tommy's school competed in a race last Friday that they called the Indy 500.  Tommy loved it, he is all about racing.  Tommy won his first heat and then lost the next race.  One of his best friends however came is second place of all the Kindergartners, wahoo, go Ethan!  The first graders and some fourth graders filled the stands as spectators and some helped coordinate the event.  It was fun for everyone.

Sammie got her first Gymnastics Medal

Sammie has been doing gymnastics since the fall of 2009.  Many of her peers have received trophies, medals or t-shirts for their accomplishments, Sammie however has not earned a reward until this past week.      Sammie was able to hold a V-sit position with her legs elevated, straight and toes pointed for 15 seconds.  It might sound easy but I encourage you to give it a try, nothing like confirming that we are not as young as we use to be.  (PS - Don't tell me if you were able to accomplish this goal, it would crush Sammie's spirit since she was the only one in her class to achieve it and it would crush my spirit since it would confirm that I apparently am the only one getting old.)
