CDO Classic

Kids are so resilient!!! And we’ve certainly put ours through a lot the last few years. An international move…three different schools, and three different swim teams in three years…and yet they still shine. 

Leah had her first High School Invitational today. She was nervous but she crushed it! She dropped time in both of her races, and looked so strong. There were at least twenty teams at the CDO Classic today. She was seeded 12th in the backstroke and walked away with 5th place. She showed up strong in the fly, too, with a time drop. I’m proud of her and how she just keeps showing up. Can’t wait for the next big meet. Go Dorados!! 

Happy Birthday, Mitch!

Did I mention it’s this guys birthday?!?! Two years ago we celebrated with his favorite…strawberry cheesecake…in Spain. Last year we were separated. There was literally an ocean between us. This year was just another day in the life of parenting three teen/tweenagers. He and Leah got Starbucks before he dropped her off at school…they even delivered to me at Cross. After school we were running to all the things and we spent the night in the CDO bleachers cheering on Bug. But we sang Happy Birthday and the stars certainly aligned for his birthday…Crumbl had Strawberry Cheesecake cookies. So we got him two and a new Vikings hat just in time for the NFL season. Happy Birthday, Dr. Mitch! And thank you for they way you love all these girls, including me.

Spirit Week

IYKYK…or I guess if you’ve been to a High School Football and/or Basketball game this side of 2020 you know! 

It’s Spirit Week…today is teachers vs Students. The kids dress up like staff members, and the staff members dress like the students. I channeled my inner high school girl with the green face paint and gold glitter. I’m sure my kids are mortified. Maybe I’ll sport this look for Leah’s High School Swim Meets. But in all seriousness the girls are settling in nicely. They dressed up for Heroes vs Villains, cowboy vs country club and like their favorite teacher.
