It's A Bronze
After a couple of unfortunate mishaps on the pommel horse, men's gymnastic Team USA, takes bronze.
Way to go guys! You had much to overcome.
Proud to be an American.

USA, USA, USA!
WAHOO!
Go, TEAM USA!
WOW! The men's gymnastic team is ON FIRE! It is so exciting to watch them stepping up and rising to the occasion. With no returning olympians and the Hamm brothers needing to step out due to injuries, the deck is stacked against them. Is silver too much to dream of. It is within their grasp.
Sometimes I just can't help but get excited. I love watching the Olympics - always have. Of course, the summer Olympics are my favorite.
Enjoy your night.
GO USA!

A GREAT first day!
Well...
Sarah did great today! Me, I did okay today.
We had a relaxed morning at home before setting out for school. We saw the Bedards at school this morning which was fun. We found Sarah's teacher and she got into line. Soon the bell was ringing and off she went. I was doing alright until I had to verbally acknowledge how I was doing. :) My friend, Leslie, was there with a hug and an encouraging word. Sarah was off and following her teacher with no concern or worry or tears. Way to go - big girl.
When I caught up to her class they were already in their room. With other parents going in and coming out - I peaked in. Sarah had her bag in her cubbie already and was sitting quietly on the floor in reading circle. I was so proud. I snapped a quick pic, she saw me and flashed me the I love you sign. I signed it back, gave her a quick wave and a smile and left to face the day ahead.
Emma did really well today as well. She rode in Sarah's booster seat in the van today while Sarah was in school. Her way of not only being the big sister today but maybe her little way of being a little closer to sissy. Only one time today did she cry and ask to see Sarah.
Carter had his little world rocked today. Didn't we just get back on schedule after Cairo?
TICK... TOCK... TICK... TOCK... the clock seemed to move slowly today.
Finally, it was time to go pick up Sarah. I had to wake up both Emma and Carter from their naps. It will take us a little time to get into a new routine. We left home and arrived at school with about 20 minutes to wait until school let out. Carter sat quietly in his seat. Emma walked around on the sidewalk just outside the van, picking up fallen flowers and sticks. I sat in the door of the van with the video camera in hand...waiting. At last, I see her. I quickly turn on the camera, she sees me and breaks into a run. What a feeling. Reliving the day brings tears back to my eyes.
She had a little card in her folder that said "Sarah had a GREAT first day"!
We hope you had a great day too.
Blessings,
Kim
PS...First day of school pics coming soon!

Knock It Out & Harshmallows
Been a while since we have had any new girlspeak words to add to our lists but I have a couple of new ones to add.
It is interesting when you hear your children repeat the words you say to them. The other night at the dinner table Emma was messing around (surprise there) and Sarah (in a stern voice) told her to knock it out. It still makes me chuckle. Knock it out...of course, she was attempting to repeat a phrase I tell them on occasion :) - which would be knock it off. I like Sarah's version.
Harshmallows come to us from Emma. It is her way of saying marshmallows. Cute.
I love their girlspeak and will be oh, so sad when they are saying what they mean and are pronouncing their words correctly.
