We are loving fall sports. The weather has been so cooperative! I got to see a few minutes of Ben's game this week (I was busy choosing a vanity topper so we can get our kid bathroom done during most of the game. Thankfully Grammy was there the whole game and Derek was there for the first bit.) Ben wishes he got more playing time, but he got more this game than in his first game. So we'll take it!
Sarah and Libby are enjoying swim/dive. Sarah had a big drop this week! She was really happy with her 100 m freestyle. I was super bummed because I found a way to sneak out early on Thursday to go to their swim meet, but for some reason they did the diving first. So I missed the dives and saw only the swims. Thankfully they both swam 3 times so it felt worth the drive. We have 2 weeks left of swim and dive. Libby's still hoping to qualify for districts in dive. She has one meet left to do that, next Saturday. (She didn't try yesterday, because the last dive is eluding her still...you need all 11 dives to qualify.)
Ben also started the fall/winter Rhinos season this week. He was kind of grumpy about having to go, but he came home happy after the 2 hour practice. (Yeah, it's a long practice on Thursdays--and that's right after football.) Libby's been lifting a lot in prep for wrestling (usually in lieu of going to swim practice--she's been focusing on dive.) I've been doing lots of wrestling planning. It takes a lot to get the season going. I'm at the same time SO excited for wrestling, and SO nervous about how much energy it's going to take. We've got this, right?

Ben's out there somewhere, I promise. He's 10--get it, Ben 10? |
