Saturday!

Great day- started out with a swim meet that the girls did very well in. Both were swimming events that are unusual for them (eg 50 and 25 fly, 100 IM) and really stepped up and put in an all out effort. Ellie even had a nice compliment from Coach Toshi about her backstroke. Really proud of them both.

Also need to put in a "whoooooot" for Zion! He had his first swim meet and was ALL over it! Really great job Zion!

After the swim meet we had Ellie's friend Katie over. And out came the American Girl stuff!
You can tell they had a great time.

The girls had swim practice tonight.

Just to add in here a note about the weather the last three days- its been so tropical-storm-ish! Everyday has been wind with sideways rain, even dipping to 74 degrees! So I need to give the girls Kudos for swimming through it all. Even the meet today was unpleasant weather-wise following into stormy yucky weather for practice tonight. The best part- not a complaint from either of them. There is something to be said for two girls swimming in cool water, driving rain and wind...... again, proud of them!

So with the weather so rotten- Kevin decided to take Aggie out for a "walk" between torrential downpours:
This means strapping on her harness (remember no collars because of her laryngeal surgery) and strolling down the sidewalk and back. Its not much but it really seems to give her some joy. Especially after the week she has had- lets just say her one paw was missing some inches of skin.... pretty ugly and still not sure how it happened. All's well now- its healed nicely and she is no longer limping.
Sweet girl- gotta love the little grandma-dog living in our house!
