It was kind of nice to have a normal week. I went to the gym 3 times. It's good to go back after not exercising for most of July. We swam alot and saw the Deans every day. I'm so thankful for their family and what good friends they are for everyone in our family.
Aaron joined the swim team. I'm so proud of him. He picked up the strokes really easily when he learned as swimming lessons. And I've been thinking it would be really good for him to have a sport that is just his and he doesn't have to compete with anyone in our family. So he went and tried out for the coach and he made it! I had to swim 50 meters in every stroke. That is a lot for a little swimmer. That night he was tired just from the tryout and was a little unsure about joining the team, but by the next morning he was ready to do it and he started practice that day and loved it. He has practice Monday through Thursday from 4-5 pm. It's going to be a lot of work for me to to get him there. Usually a sport with that much practice wouldn't make the cut for us, but I think it'll be so worth it for him to have his own thing to excel at. Hopefully he'll keep a positive attitude and keep at it. The swim team goes year round, but your can join for just a month at a time. So I'm hoping for him to do it through October and then he can do basketball in the winter.
We've been enjoying watching the olympics every night with the kids.
We got a dog. We were planning on doing it more in the fall, but Wendy brought her dog to Tahoe and the kids loved him and he was a really good dog. So Wendy offered to help me find a dog. And she already found a great one. He's a three-year old rat terrier. We'll get him in two weeks probably. We're going to Ryan's this weekend so probably the next weekend we'll go up and get the dog or maybe Linda can bring him down. Hopefully it goes well. The kids are so excited. I'm still a little unsure about how much work it'll be.
