Sam's First Gymnastics Competition


Sam did such a great job at her first competition! She was not nervous at all, and told me "I didn't know I should be nervous in the first place!" Apparently being nervous was my job :)
Sam had the highest score of the day on the floor - a 9.0! She did well on the vault and struggled on the bars (needs to hit the weights, I guess) and surprised us by falling off of the balance beam (she never does in practice!)... but got right back up and finished her routine with confidence. She had tons of fun, which is the most important part!


Look on the videos page to see 3 videos of Sam's competition!

Many faces of Christmas!

My favorite part of Christmas photos is the kids' faces! They are priceless...

Soccer girls!

This is Sam's first "official" season on a soccer team! So I guess that would make this Emma's 3rd year? (wow) You can tell, because Sam is happily wearing Emma's first pair of cleats! They both love playing soccer.... and in the brightest shirts you can find, apparently.
