Oh, Hi- Yes I Still Have a Blog

 Oh, so I'm supposed to update this blog manually.

It doesn't just read my mind and immediately

post on my behalf. 

Hmmm.

Well, that's problematic because

these two

are clearly keeping me on my toes.

So what have we been up to?

Well, Cole is just wrapping up swimming season.

He has never swam (swum?) competitively before

but he has some buddies who are swimmers and they

talked him into joining the team. 

He wasn't sure how he would like it at first

but he ended up really enjoying himself

and getting a lot of praise from the coaches for his great team spirit.

He learned a lot too.

So did we. 

Like- those jammers are really tiny

and it's very strange to look at your 16 year old child wearing 

shorts that are smaller than Stella's pants.

And swim meets are really hot

And Stella sits really good for about 3 races

And then she basically loses her mind

and makes us feel like we're wrestling a monkey

for the rest of the meet.

Pretty sure next year we will all be better prepared.
