Busy Summer

I've been pretty busy lately and not much time to post.



Nick qualifies for the Knoxville Youth Track Competitive Team with a great high jump. He and Sarah have both qualified now and both are happy. We don't really have the time and schedule to allow them to participate on that team, but they are happy and content in the knowledge that they made it. And so am I.




Sarah still can burn up the track in the 100m sprint. Her easy-going personality sure changes when she gets to the start line. She does not like to lose. Look closely at the first image in the series and the look on her face.

In the next series, she is running the anchor leg on her 4x100 team. She takes a second to glance over at her competition. She is not happy that she is not in front.




In the image above, you can see that she is running against some older girls, but still not happy with losing to them.

She finds consolation in the long jump where she is still the reigning champ.

And this is the form that gets the job done.


But, Summer is not all work. There is plenty of play time.

Great pictures. Please tell Nick and Sarah that Aunt Jen is proud of all their effort and determination! I hope they'll be role models for Emme!

Love the 9-at-a-go-jump, and Sarah's leap against the sky. And their long jumps. Great work, Nick and Sarah.
