Summer Olympics 2016?

The kids all did so great with swimming lessons this year. Each one of them improving so much. Noah, especially, had a great time. His teacher told us that he was a natural swimmer, and he certainly made everything new that he learned look incredibly easy. So we decided to sign him up for another session of lessons before the summer is over. He has graduated to the "seal" group this time, and had his first lesson in this group today. It will be a busy, exhausting couple of weeks for him, though, as he has swim lessons from 4:35 to 5:05, then has to quickly change into his football gear, and run over to the football field next door for two hours of football practice. Makes me tired just typing about it :-)

Noah has really enjoyed watching the Olympics this year, especially the swimming and Michael Phelps. Mark and I contemplated getting Noah into swimming more seriously, hearing that Michael Phelps started swimming when he was 11 ... until we heard that he then began practicing 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year ... I think we decided that maybe the 3-month football season was just right for us after all!
