30 years

It's been 30 years and in a bizarre coincidence at the beginning of this swim season I had a former babysitter approach me.   I did not remember her but she has a daughter on that team her at one point went to school with Celia.  She said "how is your Mom?" and then "how is your Dad?".   I found myself having to share that he died with this woman.  First time in likely 30 years.

In anycase, I hate this day.  Today is very busy, barely have a chance to breath busy.  These past 2 weeks have stunk but it's life and I will take it anytime.  To have the privilege to have this family life is not lost on me at all.  We fought to get our girls and know the blessing of having us all together.

This loud, hyper, teenager keeps us very busy.  

She's amazing and learning how to navigate life when you have A LOT of opinions.

These two are still best friends.  They might argue but they always come back to each other.

The little one is learning the meaning of being brave and has been working hard.  

The swim season has flown by and is nearly done.  We are headed to leagues again and excited to see what happens to these two in the water.

Another year.
