Medals and Badges

Weekends at our house tend to be very busy.  This weekend was no exception.

Saturday started off bright and early with a gymnastics meet in Westchester.  The girls did great.  Katie was at her best.  She is starting to come back into her own.  Her demons still got the best of her on bars, but the bars judge called her over after the event and told her that the rest of her routine (after she missed her jump) was flawless.  Katie placed in three events, including 2nd Place on Vault, and the all around.

Check out how sweet these two are, holding hands because they placed next to each other.  They even held onto each other as they presented.  The girls at our gym are so supportive of each other.  This one girl, in particular, is the first one to hug Katie after a bad event and celebrate with her after a good one.  They are more than a team, they are a family.

Today, we were in attendance at the Blue and Gold brunch for Pack 227.  We enjoyed food, an awards ceremony, and a magic show.   Evan has made many strong and lasting relationships at Boy Scouts.  Over the past 4 years, Pack 227 has welcomed us into their family.  In good times and bad, they have not only been there for Evan, but for all of us.  

I look forward to when Linus becomes a Boy Scout.
