Deuteronomy 6:5-9

"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

My swimming princess

Taylor is in the middle, getting ready to dive in!
Swimming the butterfly.

Hi have to do a brag post. Today Taylor had her championship swim meet. This is her first year swimming on a swim team. She has done so well, and I am so proud of her determination, diligence, and her dedication. She has taken bunches of seconds off of all her strokes and she even placed in the backstroke today. It's kind of confusing to explain the scoring system, but I'll just say she did REALLY well.

We had our banquet and potluck dinner tonight after the meet. That was a great time, and Taylor received a very special award. The "princess" award. This is a fun award that a girl on the team gives out every year. She is rewarded with her very own tiara. The "girl" that gave the reward out said Taylor was at very practice, always had a good attitude, very bubbly, and was always offering hugs.

Her practices were 5 days a week at 6:00 in the morning. She woke up every morning at 5:30 a.m., very excited, got dressed and ready, and then had to sit and wait for daddy. He wasn't as enthusiastic at 5:30 in the morning. I'm so proud of my "princess". I'm also proud of daddy who was so supportive and took her to practice at 6:00 in the morning. Thanks sweetie!

I'll post pictures of her with the tiara and her other ribbons soon!
