Birkley the Swimmer

Birkley is having a great summer swimming on the swimteam at Willowcreek Country Club. She is not only having a great time, but she is swimming so well! This week is her 3rd swim meet and tonight she is swimming 4 events:
8 & under IM Relay-backstroke
6 & under 25 m freestyle
6 & under 25 m backstroke
8 & under freestyle relay

These are her times from the past 2 meets:
25 yd freestyle 30.27 last week's time 33.71
25 yd. backstroke 30.51 last week's time 44.52

So, she shaved a bunch of time off both her times, which is great. Tonight is her first chance to swim in a relay and she is so excited! I'm so proud of her for working so hard (she has workouts every morning & a meet once a week) and for enjoying it all. It's so great to have her excited about what she's doing and recognizing her hard work paying off!

Way to go on the swim meet! Cute pictures - I can't believe that your baby is that old. It seems like I was just reading your blog announcing that you had your babe! Also, how do you know Jane? I haven't seen her since college - she is a doll!

Bree, love your new blog! I love the swim team pictures...it takes me back to the good old days. I think the twins will be ready to swim on the CC swim team in a couple summers. We'll probably swim against ya! i love the swim team days, so many fun memories. i love the pics of your book club and the hot dog roast...like I said we should have bought that house!!! We are listing our house on Friday...ahhh! no, we don't know where we are going. I hope we will have a home and not be homeless!

that is so great. I wish I would have swam more when I was little. That really could have helped me at that U triathlon. Your kids are so cute!
