An Update!

Are you enjoying the last few days of summer? I can remember a time (not too far back...) when I would hear my grandma, mom, or one of my aunts refer to time passing so quickly and I would chuckle and not really understand what they were talking about. But here it is, August, a week before school begins again, when school just got out for the summer. Here I am, sitting in the seat of 'Where did the summer go?', smiling as I think of my grandma, mom or aunts and of course, thinking 'Hmmm. Guess they weren't that old!' =)

I don't know about you, but I love, love LOVE the Olympics. Winter Olympics. Summer Olympics. Diving, Swimming, Gymnastics, Kayaking, Springboard, Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, Basketball, Synchronized Swimming (I know... this really gets to some of you, huh?...you KNOW who you are! =) We've got the DVR set to tape so that each night we can watch stuff that's gone on all day long and then catch up. Of course, I do fast-forward through quite a bit and miss a good deal of the chit chat. It's probably a really good thing it's only two weeks long! As noted earlier, I have been knitting while I watch as well, so at least it's not entirely unproductive... and of course, I am rooting on the Americans. =) Do you watch? What's your favorite sport or do you just go crazy and watch it all too?

Kabe's swimming lessons are finally over for the summer. The lessons this year focused so much more on technique rather than just the physical movement. He found this rather difficult at first.





The most difficult part for him was re-training his arms, but by the end of summer, he figured out that by using the new technique he could swim farther and faster.





After he finished his last lesson there was still a little time left before he moved on to diving off the board so he got to play a little water basketball.









He even figured out how to dunk a few! Swimming ended on a high note and Kabe can't wait for the next round of lessons...whenever that may be!
