TEAM BANQUET

This afternoon / evening the annual team pot luck was held at the gym. The kids
are having loads and loads of fun. Mimi and Emily were the greeters at
the door. In the group pics, Mimi is the one in gray sitting next to
the kid in red.

Later on the awards were presented to the athletes. Mimi recieved her pendent and trophy. They then showed a beautiful slide show of the athletes during this past year and Mimi got quite a kick out of seeing herself on the bigh screen. It was also a very nice tribute to a fellow team member who passed away earlier this year due to suicide. There was not a dry eye in the gym. I just love all of the commraderie the girls have for each other. Mimi especially loves to sit with Jaelyn. Jaelyn is now 13 and just as sweet as can be. I think that Mimi loves the feeling of having an older sister although I am sure she must drive Jaelyn crazy at times.

BLUE C SUSHI

Sorry dad, Mimi and I are having fun without you this afternoon.

After the ESD meeting this morning, Mimi and I were quite famished.
Truth be told, ever since the Olympics, I am really sick of McDonald's
so we decided to have lunch here at South Center instead. Fortunate
for me, Mimi loves sushi and now she has discovered that besides the
Tuna sashimi, she really likes the Albacore and Salmon as well. Now
mind you, all the plates you see here are Mimi's. Mine were only two
other small plates and I am stuffed.
