I am still doing some home school ordering, still finishing some teacher gifts, still planning Julianna's birthday party, still thinking about how one of these days I must tackle the packing process but most of the tasks have at least been started, though few have been finished ;)
Our kids are snow lovers. That's Lydia and Luke working on a fort with the sun setting behind them.... last week they got a lot of work done but boy was everyone happy to see Daddy back in town and they had a few things they were needing help on in the yard!
Saturday morning we had to delay our snow play while the girls swam their second and final swim meet with the Red River Valley Wahoos. This team has been an incredible experience for both of them and I'm just so thankful.
Pretty big deal to be diving off the UND blocks!
Lydia looks so little up there! I've loved watching the way the girls respond to their coaches (as opposed to their parents!).... there is definitely a time and a place for both roles in the life of a child!
That's Lydia again, winning her heat! Both girls are beginners and not winning the entire age group event, but it's super fun to win your heat regardless!
And big time to swim in a big time natatorium with scoreboard results too.
Swimming on a team with Jessica has blessed our whole family so much. Matt and I really enjoy her parents, her younger sister is Isaac's close friend in 3rd grade, and I've been grateful for all the ride sharing to and from practice! Their family came over for pizza and snow play after the meet.
And then that night Isaac had a UND date with his Grandpa. Men's basketball this time. And my devoted fan can rally and enjoy himself even with a loss (which is an important skill to develop!)
And now we dive into another week. Isaac's teacher is coming to dinner. There is still cooking and cleaning and laundry to stay on top of, and I'm almost done putting off the packing process. The sound of luggage zippers is in my near future!

Great swimming for the girls, and of the diving platforms too. So very proud of them.— and
So glad Isaac is growing in learning to accept defeat graciously. It will come him in good stead should he ever get serious about being a Wake Forest fan. And his grandfather and uncles are still learning lo-these-many-years.
love
Granddaddy
