Reincarnated As A Mother

The Swinger

I don't know where she gets it-- certainly not from me
(my own mother says I run like a newborn calf).
But our eldest is an athlete!!
She's been running track this season
and has done better than average but over the weekend
she pulled out a surprise.
 At the last minute, she was pulled in to run the 4 x 100 relay--
she's never run a relay.  And get this, they came in 3rd in Districts and more
importantly, she loved it!
Way to go Holland.
 I went to Kean's Kindergarten Mother's Day Tea
on Friday.
 He has a new classmate- actually a little girl we've known
for years from therapy.  Mika is also blessed with that
extra chromosome.  
 She's ahead of him socially and scholastically
(guess 3 plus years of Chemo do have an impact)
but it is fun to see them together.
 The children sang a song for the moms (Kean clapped at the end--

better than nothing, I say).
 We had treats together and even made a craft.
Love this boy.
 Then we headed up to the cabin in Cascade.
We are all about done with the big remodel-- the
laundry room is the last hold-out and we are getting there.
 We even got ol' Byron to take some breaks and cut loose
on the swings at the park.
 No joke, Kean stayed on the swing for at least 45 minutes
and would have stayed all day if we would have.
 We had a yummy Mother's Day weekend with Greer
leading things in the kitchen.  That girl can cook!!
 We wrapped up the weekend with a rousing game of Charades.
Trust me, you haven't played Charades until you've played with this guy.
Hope everyone had a relaxing and loving Mother's Day weekend.
