1) On Thursday I sent to school a kindergartener and a first grader came home! It's hard to believe that kindergarten is already over. I cannot believe how quick the year flew by. I am so proud of Campbell. Not only did she have a great year, but she's learned a lot. Her teachers, school, and program have been a blessing.

2) Maggie had her 4 year old well check-up last week. She did great. She was 75% percentile for weight and 90% for height. As you all know, the "4 year old visit" is the biggie shot one. Campbell still has nightmares from her 4 year old visit. Anyway, my girls know the rules . . . . we'll always make a special stop after shots.
3) There are very few shows that the girls enjoy other than Disney Junior. These "other" shows include America's Funniest Home Videos and American Ninja Warrior. Last summer Campbell, with her broken arm, wanted me to build this in our back yard:
Clearly I haven't, however, clearly she doesn't need me to build her anything.
4) Somehow over the past two weeks, Campbell has turned from a fish to a super fish. Martha sent me this picture of Campbell jumping off a diving board (for the first time) into 12 feet of water (for the first time).
5) Martha is a rock star! She competed in her first open-water swim triathlon this past weekend. It was a sprint at Tybee Island (750m/12mile/5k). Because it was her first open water swim (ocean) I signed up as part of a relay team so I could swim with her. Well, Thursday I started feeling bad and I knew something wasn't right, so I went to the doctor Friday morning. The diagnosis was Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. So our plans changed, Martha and the girls were still going to go without me because I needed to recover. She and the girls left Friday afternoon. By the next morning, I began feeling better (3 doses of antibiotics in me), so I decided that I'd make the trip to surprise the family. Heck, I had to go because Martha forgot her transition bucket.
With the bucket strapped into the car seat, off we went. The next morning (Sunday) I decided I felt good enough to swim the swim leg with Martha. While I got to stop after the swim, Martha kept going and finished the other two portions. I'm so proud of her . . . there is no way I would have the strength or stamina to do what she does. She's a rock star!

6) Thank you Jennifer and Greg . . . they live in Savannah and opened their home to us for the weekend and even watched the girls so Martha and I could race. Here's a picture of our girls with Finley and Bay . . . all having some pool fun!
