Swimming Pool

Lily has essentially recovered from her eye injury - it was pretty bad Monday and Tuesday but the swelling went down by Wednesday and the bruise is essentially gone.  Lily seems no worse for the wear and is excited to go skiing in Colorado in a few weeks.

On Tuesday, Mom and the kids went to the Churchill vs Quince Orchard high school basketball game, it was either Districts or Regionals (?) - unfortunately Churchill lost.  The kids did get to see Gheorge Muresan (formerly of the Washington Bullets) for the second time since they also saw him at the Wizards game.  (Dad fled to Arizona in anticipation of Snowquester and left us to fend for ourselves through the torrential snowstorm.)

Wednesday brought Snowquester and we were ready for 10-16 inches but the storm ended up as a complete bust at least for us.  School was cancelled, work was cancelled, and while it did snow there was little to no accumulation because it was so wet and heavy - by the afternoon it was rainy and slushy.  The kids ended up building forts inside instead of snow forts!

Thursday it was back to school and work.

We had a gorgeous weekend and the kids spent lots of time outside riding bikes/scooters, playing on the playground, and hanging with neighborhood kids.

Lily also wrapped the swim season with her 'Mini Champs' meet - thanks for coming to watch Grandma Gail.

Overall she had a good season, improving a half second in 25 free and 4 seconds in 50 free.  She has a few more weeks of just practice (cutting down to just once a week) and then she may take off a few weeks before the summer season begins - she is excited for summer swim team!

Lacrosse practice starts this week for Lily, and soccer starts for Jack at his school.  He is actually playing in two leagues, one thru school and one with his future kindergarten classmates (which starts after spring break).

Hope everyone has a good week!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!
