Almost a fifth grader

At the pool earlier tonight. Just a few more days until the monkey is a 5th grader! She met her teacher for next year today and we are really excited.

Photos: Visit with bdad Derek and family

We had a great visit with Hayley’s bdad Derek, his wife, parents, sister and sons. We got some sun at the pool and ate pizza, then relaxed and played at home. Hayley loved to spend time with her brothers!

Photos: Swim Meets

Swim team season has started and like most sports, I shoot the meets for the team. The photos here are just ones of Hayley pulled out from my big ole pile of photos for each meet. I’ll add more to this as we go along on the season.

Photos: Roller Derby

We went to the Carolina Rollergirls Roller Derby and it was such fun to watch.

Hayley was in love with watching them race around and thump each other – I fear she’ll run away to join them. She was so energetic early on but since she had a swim meet this morning, she eventually hit the wall and crawled up in Daddy’s lap (note the mugging for the camera).

Carolina lost to the NYC Gotham team but it was a good time anyway! A tip – horrible hard seats in Dorton Arena so if you go, bring your own bag chairs and sit down on the floor.

Photos: Jeff’s birthday

0

Jeff turned the big 4-0 on Thursday and he wished for a nice quiet night and dinner at home. So we made his favorite dinner and even made one of his favorite desserts creme brulee for dessert – I do love my culinary torch after all. I took Hayley to swim team practice so he even got some video game time.

We gave him several presents he wanted of books, games and movies but the big gift was a real ‘old man’ gift – a really cool pillow from the Sleep Number store. I suppose I shouldn’t tease him too much since I’m only 15 months behind him.
