I talked Jenn into swimming with me this morning – my first day back at the pool in over 2 weeks. I think it was the “AND you can video me for my coach!” that must have pushed her over the edge into accepting. I sure know how to sweeten the deal.
The video itself is hysterical more for the circumstances – several lanes were taken up by a random visiting synchronized swimming team blasting music while the coach-mom yelled through a megaphone, a slow breaststroker (who Jenn felt had terrible lane etiquette) hogged part of our lane, and Jenn can’t hold her breath for 2 minutes underwater (the nerve!), necessitating her surfacing periodically during taping to capture the hilarity. The good news is the ELF had some positive things to say about my swim improving since she saw it in February!
We’re too much fun to fit in one camera lens.
Tonight the boys had a puppy playdate. Stanley’s cousin Eva – just 11 weeks old and new to the neighborhood – came over for a visit with her dads. She took a whole new environment in stride with confidence, sniffing the yard and checking out every nook and cranny, before meeting each dog one at a time. Stanley in particular decided she was meant for him and designated himself her protector. I think these two will be quite active playmates within another couple visits.
Beardie baby cuteness knows no bounds!
She’s even an agility prodigy already :)
By the way, have I mentioned that I AM SO EXCITED to be back to training? It started yesterday with miserable run drills on the track in 95-degree heat, then the pool today, and tomorrow? BIKE TEST! Yeah baby!!!
