We Can Do Hard Things

Delany & Avery
Today was our second swim meet.  The kids have been practicing 5 days a week for the past month and it is not easy.  Lap after lap after lap - just watching them makes me feel tired.  But they have stuck with it and did great at todays swim meet!  I couldn't be prouder of their efforts.  They are proof that you can do hard thing - it is quite inspiring. They are getting stronger and faster and more confident.  And we have even developed a few new friendships through all of this.
Max had to run to a basketball game but before he left Mike, Brett, and Cade came to cheer the kids on (with the meets starting around 6:30, they skip the beginning).  They did more pretzel munching, bubble blowing, and toy playing than watching but it was still a good time.  Feels like summer time here.
