U.S. Coach’s Cup On The RiverFront

ccpg3.jpg

Molly competes this weekend in her home gym’s premier meet, the Coach’s Cup.

Mom and Dad have to work all day Friday as part of our obligation to the parents club. Dad gets to do security, event timing and computer (score entry), I forget what mom is doing in the morning but she’s also doing timing and score entry.

Molly competes Saturday morning 8am to noon. If you’re interested in seeing her. Let us know and we’ll let you know how to get there and get tickets and stuff.

You can visit here for more information. (warning: not for the bandwidth impaired)

Construction update…

Our roof, gutters, and soffits are complete…

One storm and a little rain later, no leaks 😉 That’s all good. I do need to do some chimney repair where they had to chip away some stucco that to re flash the chimneys. However since we’re getting a bid to fix the fireplace the Weller contruction guy said he’d have his mason patch those real quick while he was here. We’ll see.

The two new skylights in the attic are very nice. The velux crank open is sweet. It opens fairly easily too. So it adds a measure of safety to that room.

You can open and remove the window.
We’re still waiting on our doors and windows for the attic. Those should be in in the next week or so.

Lady Eagles Update

Maggie wasn’t feeling well last night.  She’s been fighting something for the last couple days so we called the coach and warned him she was ‘iffy’ for the game.

This morning she didn’t have a fever and felt pretty good so at the last minute we decided to go.  Claudine was ble to joing us too, making us up to the minute late.

On our trek across I-275, the State Troopers spotted me and decided to give me a performance award for going 79 in a 65.  Apparently getting your daughter to the game on time (and going with the flow) isn’t a good enough excuse. Oh well.

The Lady Eagles didn’t play their best…  In fact they got thumped.  I expect a whole lot of running at practice tomorrow.

Molly’s first Official Gymnastics Meet

Molly competed for her first time today in an official USAG meet. She was soo stoked!

A little nervous at times, but she didn’t show it. I think she was more overwhelmed. But she handled it all really, really well.

She took 4th over all in her age group on bars (excellent!) and did very well in vault. I think she got the short end of the stick on her floor routine, the judges were very harsh and her balance beam wasn’t her best.

She finished 10th over-all (which is the combined scores in all events). Not too shabby for a newbie.

Afterwards she wanted to do it again. 🙂 She was ready to go.

Later on the way home while talking to Grandma, she told her “She could go through it again if she had too”.

I took about 600 photos of her and the other gymnasts. Once I get them sorted I’ll post them to the gallery.
