Rock You Like A Hurricane!

We had our first swim meet tonight. Earlier today, we had seen that The Gals would be swimming in a Relay Race - same team. Phew! (I cannot tell you how hard it is when they swim against each other.) Well, they received their very first ribbon tonight for that race (third place). Some people wouldn't celebrate anything but first, but in this house - a ribbon is a ribbon! And, the fact that they both got ribbons for the very first time swimming together on the same team - well, that is just the cherry on the sundae. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

Nine!

The Gals turned 9 today! I cannot believe it. We had a wonderful party at the pool with some of their friends around lunch time. Then, we headed back to the pool later on in the afternoon for a few more hours. I am sure they will both be asleep before it is time to eat dinner, but that just means it has been a good day.
