And the SWIMMER is . . .
The Rochester Royals hosted their arch rival, the Kosciusko YMCA today. One little 8-year old girl named Sam swam away with 5, yes, FIVE, FIRST place finishes today. Her 5-year old brother Jeffrey took two 3rds and a 5th.
Meanwhile, Kosciusko YMCA CEO Steve Jungbauer (and his wife) were at the LCA Cougar game where Sarah made her splash with a swoooosh and scored 11 of the team's 19 points to lead the team to victory!

Confessions
I have to admit that Steve was right . . . . . again.
Three years ago, he bought me my first digital camera. I was skeptical at first, but it was definitely one of the best gifts that I have ever received.
This year he gave me an iPod for Christmas. I had a Walkman back in high school. In fact, I still have it, but never used it much. I almost always read when I exercise, so at first I was really wondering how much I would use an iPod.
It didn't take me very long to realize just how cool it is to hold my entire collection of CDs in the palm of my hand!!! Now I take my iPod to work every day where I plug it into my JBL desktop speaker and shuffle music all day long depending on my mood.
Now it's time to start downloading photo albums onto my iPod . . . .
Thanks, Honey. I'm on the computer (again) if you need me.

Guess what I found
O my gosh!!! My daughter will most likely threaten to disown me (again) for posting this, but how could I resist? (Please help me out and cast your vote of support by posting lots of comments.)
New Year's Eve is typically a non-event for Steve and I. (Steve can barely stay up past 9 pm on a "late night," so New Year's Eve requires an extra-rigorous training schedule of multiple naps before midnight.)
New Year's Eve IS a big deal to Sarah and Rachel. When they were younger, they loved the challenge of trying to stay awake until midnght. They quickly learned that "if you stop, you drop." Staying up past midnight is certainly not a challenge anymore -- except for Steve.
Several years ago Anna (who is also my Godchild) came over for New Year's Eve and another tradition was started. Apparently, Anna is the only one her household that likes to stay up late --- or perhaps it's just that Anna is the only one her house that doesn't need beauty sleep????
Enough rambling. Here's what I found in my camera from New Year's Eve.
(Steve was sound asleep on the couch and I was at the hospital waiting to catch the New Year's baby. I had 2 ladies close to delivery at midnight and then my colleage did a C-section to bring in the first baby of the New Year. I hate cheaters!)
Not bad for amatuers, eh?
