Steve Wins the Swim Race

Joc and Steve and Ben came over last month and we had a swim-off with Steve, Liz and Sam. Steve could not help but beat us all...the North Carolina champion! We Texans need a rematch!

Sam's Piano Recital

Sam did a great job at his first piano recital with his new teacher, Ms. Gaye. He was in a real piano studio in front of lots of people and despite being the youngest one there, played like a pro.

Sam joined the Deerfield Dragons swim team for his second time this summer and did great! He was consistently in the top 5 on his team and received the coveted "Swimmer of the Week" which recognizes a swimmer who improved and demonstrated good sportsmanship and listening skills. He even was chosen for the Championship Meet at the end of the season and beat his time in both backstroke and freestyle by 1 second and came in 11th overall in both strokes (out of 19 total). He really enjoyed it and we all enjoyed being in his cheering squad, especially Tyler, who Sam gave the award, "Best Little Brother Cheerleader", another coveted achievement.

Boys Camping Trip

The boys took another camping trip with their buddies, the Friedmans, to Canyon Lake. They stayed up late, ate smores, slept in their sleeping bags, fished, swam, played soccer and had a blast.
