March Inn

Why"March Inn?" March Inn was the name of that magic place where I spent my summers growing up. I have alluded to this place before, and I probably will again. March Inn is no longer standing. The waters of Katrina rendered it unlivable so my children will never know that "March Inn." That makes me sad. In fact it brings me to tears whenever I think about it. I want my children to have their own "March Inn," and I want to capture our lives as they are growing and changing. I invite you to "march inn" to our lives. My hope is that you will catch glimpses of the real world. You will see our creations. You will see our chaos. You will see our affection. You will also see our frustrations, fears, and disappointments. Enjoy your march!

Case and Point!

I told you we are tired...
This is Betsy after a long day of running errands - sometimes it just has to be done.
Thank goodness I was able to transfer her to her bed and she was able to take a stellar nap which was helpful for the rest of our day...
We had a swim meet - the last of the season...
Who knew putting a swim cap on could be so fun!
My babies are troopers.  Sitting and waiting for hours on end is not the most fun for anyone.  Particularly for the four and under set when it is HOT and you can't even dip your feet in the pool.
Oops..
The best seat in the house!
Who is that?
What a nice way to be welcomed home after six days without seeing your family...
 

 Check out this heat winner...

Double Trouble
 Still being patient...
Mary Frances finally got to swim in a relay.  She has been wanting to since the first meet of the year.
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
 
The pictures of these girls waiting for their relay takes me back to my years on the track and cross-country teams, but that's another story for another day. 
Through all the splashing water, I hope you can see a precious girl who has worked super hard this summer to improve her times in each of the three events she swims, a girl who has spent hours practicing a racing dive, and a girl who does not want to miss a single practice.  In fact, she would be happy to do two-a-days everyday if I could make the nap schedule work.  I'm sorry that I can't!

 
Like I said, we are tired...  
Post swim meet and dinner

He's still got that ability...
