Ceci did an awesome job at her swim meet. Her first event was Free Style and she got 2nd place with a better time than last year. Her second event was Back Stroke and she got 1st place with a better time than last year. Her last event was a Free relay which her group place 3rd. Ceci was the anchor and pulled her group from last (out of 5) to 3rd. 
The final product. Ceci carved a cat and Nicole carved out a witch on a broom stick. I remember the days when Tom and I had to do the work for them. We would start out all working together and then eventually it ended up as Tom and My project. I miss those days. They feel like as if they were yesterday, but the sense of pride that they now have because they did it all on their own is so wonderful.
The Kids table. Nicole and Daniel look forward to the day they get to sit at the Grown ups table.

Rockin Out.
I think that the adults had more fun than the kids!
Billy came down for a visit for the weekend. He went crabbing with Tom and then we headed over to the park before he left back to Long Island, NY.
Nicole and Ceci were so excited for their first day of school that they were ready by 6:30 in the morning. Ceci actually walked out the door at 7:30 and was ready to go. We didn't have to leave until 8 and that's still leaving 5 minutes early. Nicole is now in 5th grade and Ceci is in 3rd grade. It amazes me how grown they are. We are so very proud of them. They are very good girls and good examples to those around them. I look forward to a fun year for both of them.
