Swimming and Spelling

Tabitha found out today that she is a district finalist for the spelling bee so she will now compete in the final regional bee in Cincinnati in mid-February. If she wins there, she will get the opportunity to compete in Washington, D.C. with an all expenses paid trip for her and one parent. We will be busy practicing spelling for the next couple of weeks! Josh and I will then have to arm-wrestle to see who gets to be the one to accompany her to D.C.!
Quincy had a busy day today with many miles put on my car in the process. He had his acting class bright and early this morning in Cincinnati. I enjoyed a cup of coffee and a bagel with an old friend while I waited for him to finish. We then hopped right back in the car and drove an hour through the beautiful, snow covered rolling hills of northern Kentucky to make it just in time for the warm ups of his swim meet.

The swim team demolished their competition today in a surprisingly short meet. Quincy did a great job despite this crazy start to one of his relay events.

He placed either first or second in all four of his events and had a great time yuckin' it up with buddies on the sidelines between events.

I then drove a car full of boys home. Seventy-five minutes of thumping bass and goofy conversation... He and his friends are now at the Homecoming basketball game at his school. They plan to stay for the dance afterwards so it will be a late night.
