How time flies

The days just fly by! We have been busy with friends, music class and playdates. Yesterday Emma had her first competitive gymnastics meet at Bright Raven here in Rochester. There were about 75 girls. She placed 3rd on bars in her age division (9 yo's). She would have placed for States if it had been a state qualifier.

She got 8.5 on bars, 8.4 on floor, 6 on beam and 6.4 on vault. It was too bad about vault - she usually has a beautiful vault, but it was new equipment and the first event. I probably would have run the other way! On beam, she fell off her dismount, but the rest of her routine was gorgeous :). I'm so proud of her. Even after her falls, she still turned and smiled for the judges. We got some pictures of her and Tom video taped the whole thing. I'm anxious to see it with Emma.

David and his dad were here for the weekend and took the girls to a book sale at MCC and to Strong Museum. He'll have to talk more about that.

Today we're going to recuperate from yesterday and stay home until we have to go to they gym. I teach tonight.
