Swim Team

So, many of you will not be surprised that the only pictures of swim team that I got this year were at the very last meet. Be that as it may....I got pictures! Madalyn did a fabulous job with swim this summer. It was the first time she had ever been on a team and she hasn't ever had formal swimming lessons. She worked hard and earned the "most improved swimmer" award in her age group which consisted of about 20 girls. She had the option of starting basketball this fall with some friends from church or doing swim team for the winter and she chose to swim. For winter team she has to try out with SwimAtlanta and we do that on Tuesday so we will keep you posted. The girl next to Mads is her good friend Victoria Botz. Her family moved to GA the same time we did and our families have become good friends. Peeking behind is pesky little sister Maryn, who missed out on swim team this year because of a broken left arm. She landed on her wrists while jumping out of a swing and broke her radius all the way through just below the wrist. She wore a cast for 6 weeks and is supposed to be in a brace for 12 more weeks. Luckily about 3 weeks into it all we as able to get a cast just below her elbow and it was waterproof. It made our summer much more bearable. She had an awesome cast that was 3 different colors...very cool...but she wouldn't let me take a picture of it. I should of sneeked one in the night but I think Em has a glimpse of it on one of her pictures.
