Copperfield Swim Meet

Luke had a wonderful first swim meet of the year! He had three races - the first was a free style relay (2nd place), a 25 m. freestyle race (somewhere in the middle of the pack), and a 25 m. backstroke (1st in heat, we'll see how he places overall). He was sooooo excited about his backstroke, and he can't wait to get his ribbons tomorrow morning.

Ok, here are the results:
freestyle - 55.86 seconds, 18th overall
backstroke - 53.47 seconds, 7th overall

Happy Aaron, Happy Daddy

My new favorite photo!

I told Aaron to take his dinner plate from the table to Rich in the kitchen. He said, "I can't. I'm singing a song." He treated us to a medley of 10 Little Monkeys, Hokey Pokey, and Rock-a-Bye Baby. Cute, included gestures and facial expressions.

Waffle House

Luke's assessment: "That's the best food I've ever had!"

I've started working seriously on getting back into shape - finally have motivation again. Running, Bikram yoga, a cleanse (vegan diet + herbs, fiber), and tracking everything online. I ran with Dad this morning for the first time in 1 1/2 years - it was great to go out with him, even though he is so much fitter than I am!

Piano practice

Rich is the one who really needs to write about playing the piano with Luke, but we did finally take some video clips today. Luke is THRILLED with himself on the piano, and he's trying to figure out how to play the theme song from "Star Wars" (of course!)

Good Hair Day

Luke had extra crazy hair this morning, so we helped it along a bit!
