Winning

Today was a great day.  My mom and sister are in town. The Gators won their big game against Georgia. Meggan made delicious brownies. However, the biggest news of the day was Amelia finally earning her yellow band at swimming (on the same day her best friend earned hers). A yellow band essentially means you will not immediately drown if you get in the pool. To earn it she had to swim to the middle of the pool and float for a time period. It may not sound hard, but for a kid who had a year's worth of lessons and still would not let go of the swim instructor a few months ago, this was a miraculous accomplishment.  I couldn't be more proud of her and she couldn't be more proud of herself...
