the olympian

at our house, we are olympic junkies. can't get enough of it. we watch every evening until we are too tired, then as soon as we wake up, we finish watching what we couldn't stay awake for the previous evening. we've been avoiding any regular news like the plague since we don't want to "accidentally" hear results from any of the events that have already happened but haven't been shown on tv yet. like everyone else, we are huge michael phelps fans. isaac has even learned a bit from the master...

as a mother, you are proud of even the smallest accomplishments your children make. so i can't begin to fathom the amount of pride debbie phelps has for her son who has turned the world upside down with his talent. for now, i will revel in the everyday achievements of isaac & lauryn, because with each step, it takes them closer to who they will be one day. i can only imagine what god has in store for them...

How cute! That's funny because just tonight we were swimming at my aunts house and Brinley was trying the back stroke and all sorts of others things (since she can swim without floaties) and Halle was doing free style. It's was fun to see them trying so hard :)

I don't know how hard you had to work at sports, jen, but dennis seemed to be a natural at everything he tried. Looks like Isaac is gonna blow his daddy out of the water as an athlete! How exciting to watch him try new things. He's awesome!
