Swimming











Charlie is on the swim team again this year. She's doing great this year and has really improved her times. (It probably helped that she grew almost 5 inches in the last year or so). Shawn and I love that Charlie is on the swim team for a a few great reasons. First, the whole team cheers each other on. They are just excited when you beat your personal best time as they are when you win your race. Second, all the girls are so nice, and third, Charlie enjoys competing against herself and so swimming is a great sport for her.
Her are some pics from her 1st home meet- which actually occured before school had even started. (Swimming started back up mid August- 3 weeks before school started).

Yeah Charlie...so glad you are on the swim team! It is the best sport possible for the mind and body.
I knew this was a great sport when I went to my first high school meet as a new swim mom and could not figure out why they were cheering and screaming for excitement when a girl came in last. A wise veteran mother sitting next to me told me it was her personal best time and that is why the crowd went wild!!
