March 8, 9 and 10




My goal for the week is to get outdoors with my photography and get a little more creative! Definitely in a funk lately. Hopefully the additional sunlight after work will help! Here are a few for the weekend. It's been really nice reading all your compliments about the girls' gymnastics this year. It is, obviously, a big part of our life - especially in the winter while they are in competition season. Several people have asked about Abby's favorite event - she would say it is the bars. The beam is probably the event that she struggles with the most - she can do the skills, but the pressure of staying on the beam really gets to her at meets. This has been a pretty big year for her as she's learned a lot of new skills. Meg has also done well this year. She always seems so timid and little to me! She really loves being with the other kids on her team. Both girls have qualified for our state meet. It's just a few weeks away - hard to believe! Although it is an exhausting time, it has gone pretty quickly. The girls are definitely ready for spring activities and getting outdoors.

Congrats to them for qualifying for states! I always enjoy your gymnastics shots--it's one of the few sports my kids have not done over the years.
