I don’t know if a screen shot of a video counts as a photo, but since this is my project, I say… it does! Robin got her standing back handspring today and it was so exciting. I actually cried a little. I am so proud of her!

I finished knitting my bunny. Now to stuff it and make its clothes. We’ve also been eating dinners outside, which makes me so happy. I can see flowers and grass, which was exactly my dream when I lived in the city. And we even had time for Billy to kick everyone’s ass at Ticket to…

Robin’s team came in 21st place, which I think is pretty incredible. Hers was one of only 68 teams nominated worldwide to even compete in this tournament, and only 34 of those teams made it to finals. And then in finals, she was ranked in the top 25 IN THE WORLD. It was a long…

I got another flat tire today, my third in four months. Got it replaced in time to drive to Orlando, yay! Now for a good night’s sleep before our big day tomorrow!

Robin and I played hooky today and went to the mall and out for haircuts. It is the happiest I’ve seen her in ages, and I am so happy that I got to spend that time with her. The evening was rough, though. We are at odds over the time she spends on her phone…

Did a lot for a day with no plans. The highlight for me was doing some sewing on my advent calendar, now in its third year of progress. For the kids it was making collages. When did magazines get so expensive? I bought two and it came to more than $30. I might as well…

It was a light day at work and a gorgeous day outside, so we took the dogs for a walk. It was probably the highlight of my day.

We had a really great day that ended with 30 minutes of yuck that kind of tainted it. Got a lot done – cleaned up the house, weeded the garden, went to the Game Haus and played Sorry and Scattergories, got ice cream, went food shopping, and had tacos for dinner in front of the…

In two days I walked almost 15 miles, half of it carrying Robin’s cheer bag full of bricks. I didn’t work this hard on my backpacking trip in Virginia with Siggi five years ago. In the midst of everything, poor Robin had a full-out panic attack when she thought her team left to perform without…

It was a long day of cheer performances that started at 4:45am and only just wound down, almost 15 hours later. Robin’s team looked great (to me, at least), but they are competing against teams twice their size doing stunts they can’t even attempt due to their size. These kids are amazing, and doing amazing…

We are here in Atlanta for Cheersport, which is apparently the biggest cheerleading event on Earth. I’m excited about everything except waking up at 4:45am.
