the x-bow

Sam is still our gymnastics star!

He has been improving his skills in a Wednesday night class out of town... which isn't bad when the carpool includes these wonderful kids:

the Meeker crew

It was 'parent observation night' this week so I dutifully sat and watched in amazement at the discipline and rigor of a full hour long of instruction! I managed to catch a minute or so of floor exercises, a little beam and some vault... but he does much more in class and it's all impressive (well... to me!). There's no telling if he will continue to be passionate about this sport - and whether he ends up an Olympic gymnast or just that cool kid that can do a standing back flip at parties one day... as long as he is happy we will continue to support him!

Sam was quite proud of his fall semester.
He was excited to show off for his family - so much so that in referring to the special night as his gymnastics expo, he made sure to write it himself on the calendar... (thus the title of this post!)
