"And next we have Jude Eckerle, who was a joy to coach and has the personality of a 35 year old man." That was the highlight of the evening as we celebrated the conclusion of a successful swim season. I don't know if Kate will admit it, but me making her swim might have been the best thing that happened this school year. She was able to socialize with lots of kids from the school, stay active and find out she actually is pretty damn good swimmer. I told them all last night how proud I was of them for the way they have handled this year..
Kate is in total mourning right now as her favorite band (One Direction) is losing one of their top members... She woke up this morning in tears and woke up everyone else in the house with the sad news... I tried to console her by telling her about how devastated I was when KISS broke up when I was a kid.. When they lost Ace Frehley, things just got all out of whack. It happens... Good bands break up.. Not sure if it was a great parenting moment, but I tried.
Last night was a wonderful evening of awards, food and kids being kids.. It was a lot of fun.. The banquet was held at the school pavilion , which is basically a giant thatched roof covering.. The beautiful thing about having events here is just about everything is outside.. As they were giving out the awards, I looked out and the sun was setting in the distance ... It never really gets old....
Michelle heads back to Lilongwe today and back to reality.. I think she enjoyed her time in Cape Town and picked up a few 1st world items for us.. She deserved a day of hot yoga, and beach lounging.. She thinks she did well enough to pass the board exam.. Is that something you want to hear from you physician?
All is good here otherwise.. Looking forward to break. Below are photos of the kids with their friends, their coaches and a photo of the morning commute ... fog rising in the morning.. Hope all is well back home.
