Next on the list of happenings is Nick's participation in the Sectionals track meet! He ran the 400 this year. He had a good run, placed second (by a fraction of a second - it was neck-to-neck) in his heat, but didn't place in the top 5 overall. His 4x400 relay team ended up going to state - Nick was an alternate. (He and one other boy battled for a place on the team throughout the season.) He was thrilled with the opportunity to go to state, to say the least. Nick didn't get to run, but he was there for all the action during the two day meet. Unfortunately, one of our runners fell during his leg of the relay, which ended up costing us big time. Based on their times from past meets, the coaches expected our guys to come in 3rd but as it turned out, they came in 9th. Oh well - there's always next year! :o) Here are a couple pics from the Sectional meet:
Aunt Diane and cousin Jen were in town last weekend to visit Grandma for Mother's Day, so we took advantage of their time here to sneak in an evening at Lucca (pizza! beer!) and then we made our way to Von Maur to browse at the flower girl dresses. Jen's wedding is just a few months away - Carly needs to start practicing her princess walk down the aisle! LOL. Not sure yet which dress will be THE ONE, but Carly looked darling in all of them. Not that I'm biased or anything! See for yourself:
And that pretty much brings you up to speed on life in our household. We're going into the last few weeks of school THANK YOU GOD! Summer can't come soon enough for this Mom!
Here's to Spring time, flowers, sunshine and warm temps!! Bring it on!
