At the swim team car wash

Notice that the older kids found time to goof off...the little ones worked REALLY hard!

Miranda at first track meet this year

She has jumped 13 feet in practice...today she made 11'7"...not her best, but it was really cold and rainy that day. Hard to stay warmed up!

Miranda, track star

She jumped 11'8" in long jump today...pretty good for a 4'9" kid...her best jumps last year were about 8 feet something. She hopes to break the school record for the 400 meter this year...came within one second of it last year. We bought her special shoes ($64) for track to support her arch and help with her pronation. Thinking we'll need to take her to PT for special exercises...her arches hurt when she runs.
