If you know Chawndell you would know she is SCARED to DEATH of costumes, and this guy (a Hauk) wanted to pick her up and she RAN behind me, he felt so bad and asked her for a hug, so she gave him a quick one.  I was laughing so HARD!!!  I know a mean mom, but is was FUNNY to see her run away from him!

SWIMMING

OK so you all know we LOVE Special Olympics, RIGHT?  Well today was our area Swim Meet and we had lots of FUN.  Chawndell was SCARED to DEATH, I felt sooo bad for her, my heart was pounding when she jumped into the water to do a 50 meter backstroke.  I knew she was nervous I could see it in her darling face, the pool was COLD 82’ and 8 feet deep.   But my AWESOME AWESOME daughter swam EXCELLENT!!!  She took home a Silver in the backstroke and a Bronze in the Freestyle.  I have some pictures, sorry some are blurry, I had a smudge on the lens and did not realize it tell later. 

I’m so BUMMED most of my pictures are blurry!!  here you go anyway!
