Friends
I had this cute picture of Kate and Chloe from a trip to WOF with the Sims. We didn't make it to WOF/OOF nearly as much as in past years, but we tried. The Sims were our regular playmates.
We are the Stingrays...
the mighty mighty Stingrays!
Sam participated in the summer swim team again this year and had a great time. It was so sad to leave behind such a great group of coaches and families. It was really too bad that Kate wasn't old enough to swim-- she would have swam better than most of the little first-timers, if I do say so myself. One of Sam's coaches this year was male, which he responded really well too.
He also continued to take private lessons with Eliot during the summer. Eliot was much more a friend than a coach, but Sam grew a lot in his strength, confidence, and stroke under Eliot's teaching. Many times Eliot would stay and play with Sam and Kate for 15-30 minutes after lessons were over, and even invited Sam to his graduation party. We miss Eliot!

Cute, IF
Amy and I took our kids to Fazoli's one night over the summer. Sam wasn't there-- I'm not sure where he was at-- so it was just Evan and Kate. When we sat down, Evan says to me, "You know, she [looking at Kate] would be pretty cute IF she wore some makeup." He seemed to warm to her as the night went on and they ended up chasing each other up and down the sidewalk in front of Marshalls (anything for a few minutes of adult conversation, right?)
As you can see, they hit it off marvelously, and we had to break up a little proclaimed kissing threat by Evan later in the evening. Hilarious. (Oh, this picture was taken shortly after Evan broke his arm at school-- pushed off a swingset of some kind by a "Friend")
