County

Image
Yesterday was county at Acalanes High.  Tyler and Scott both did freestyle and Scott did breast in addition.  He made finals in freestyle but was not happy about it because it meant staying longer.  He was happy to take a break from the meet to go to Pop's.   I thought this was a cute selfie of Kira and me and all Heidi could say was, "Look at her hair.  She's going to ask us what we were thinking, letting her go out in public like that."

Scottsdale Invitational

Scott and Tyler did well at the Scottsdale invitational at Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek.  Scott took first in the 100 IM, free and back.  He did well and had fun!   Tyler got a 3rd in fly and 4th and free.  Incredible!  Proud of our little men. Some serious swim hair. Having fun in the volleyball pit.

Dana Hills meet

Gotta hand it to Tyler for taking first in several of his events and getting a county time in freestyle.   I'm impressed not only because he has half a heart, but because of his drive.  He wants to go fast so bad that it outweighs his physical limitations.   Heidi and I watch House, MD, on netflix.  One of the cases was about an immunocompromised child who felt her parents were overprotective in keeping her indoors.  She just wanted to live a "normal" life even if it meant failing sooner.   Several physicians recommended we terminate Tyler's pregnancy, and since we didn't, any time we have with him is gravy.  Therefore, we want him to have a happy and fulfilled life since no one knows when their card is gonna get pulled.  He has surpassed our expectations in many ways.  He's doing well in school, too.   We talked in church yesterday about sowing what you reap.  Dieter Uchtdorf wrote a funny article about it and we discussed it in elders quorum.
