I know it is the end of June, but I thought I'd catch you up on the big news in May.  Darling Too thrilled us with a 2nd place award at the school science fair and then went on to win a Blue Ribbon at the city-wide fair! It was an excellent project and she learned a ton! Ask her sometime what her results were! YUCK!

After struggling through her Level 6 season and making great progress, Darling One decided to quit gymnastics. I was the hardest hit by it. After absorbing most of our family's spare time these last 5+ years, the idea of not having to be on the road an extra hour every day or have our daughter eat supper in the car and go to bed at 11 p.m. three school nights a week didn't sit well with me. Strange, I know. I think my reaction boiled down to this- I am going to miss watching an incredibly strong young woman and her teammates push themselves beyond what I could ever imagine. The lessons she learned from the sport were many and the memories will be treasured.
