While we are waiting for Amy to post the pictures from Thanksgiving..... (hint, hint), I will give a Maddy and Katie swim/diving update. Maddy got 8th in this weekend's diving meet and she didn't even get points for her third dive. It was supposed to be a half-twist, but she did more of a front splat which doesn't get any points... Poor kid was pretty red, but came out of the pool smiling! Katie dove for the first time this weekend and got 5th place - awesome, considering that in diving the girls dive in the 11yr and under category, so most of the girls are older. They are both loving the diving. Mom is OK with it until they both have to try an inward dive...
As for swimming, they both did awesome as well. Maddy is loving it, but needs to be about a foot taller and six inches wider in the shoulders! :) She is such a peanut compared to the other swimmers. Katie is holding her own, but not sure she wants to keep swimming. She came in 3rd in the 50 Free with an awesome flip turn last weekend, but insists "swimming isn't for her..." Go figure...
Sorry no pictures, but it is really hard to get diving/swimming pictures. You'll have to wait for Amy to post those Thanksgiving pictures...
Also, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Amy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job to both girls - don't worry if swimming isn't for Katie, even if she's good at it. Tony was a very talented bass clarinet player, but decided to go the athletic route instead...
