Big Weekend

Some big events this weekend... Britt's gymnastics team is going for the State Championship. Brittan is my 16 year old niece. She's been doing gymnastics since she was 4 years old and she's pretty darn good. Here's a short clip so you can get an idea of how she flies through the air.





If they get the State title, it will be ten years in a row for the team. She generally places and the bars are her strongest events -- usually scoring in the 9s!!! Wishing her a good score on bars and everything else tonight.

Tomorrow is a birthday party for Garrett. His birthday was really earlier in the month but weather and other commitments meant that they could not get to the Cape earlier. They live about 2hrs away. Anyway, he turned 4 and he wants as many parties as possible. So does little brother Ryley who's favorite food is cake.

Then sometime between today and tomorrow is my sister's birthday-- yup she's a leap year kid. We have yet to convince her that that means she doesn't have a birthday but for every four years. She thinks that being a leap year kid means that she gets an even bigger party every four years. She's a student again at age 47... gonna be a nurse this time. The first time around her studies centered around art -- and she did well as an artist. But she and Steve (structural engineer with a good position with a good firm in NY) figure putting 3 kids through college is gonna cost. So its hi ho, hi ho its back to school she go!!!!

That's all for now from us.
