Life with older kids is a whole new experience! Fun and VERY busy! While Camille is content with play dates, trips to the park and morning cartoons, Julia and Bella have definitely found their own passions and interests. We are committed to something 6 nights a week but it's exciting and forces us to be more organized and do everything as a team. I think my kids are tired of my "team" speeches!
Julia ran for Student Council class representative again and was elected! Her next goal is to be elected Student Council Secretary. She prepared another speech to be videotaped and aired to the entire school- happening today! I am so proud of her- she knows what she wants, puts in the time and effort and doesn't let her nerves stand in her way. GO JULIA!
Julia is also playing soccer again this season and practices/plays 3 nights a week. This is the year where the teams get more competitive. She even had to try out for this team of 10-12 yr old girls. As one of the youngest, Julia was definitely wide eyed when spotting her older team mates for the 1st time! :)

Bella is still loving her gymnastics team. She has improved so much over the last 2 months and is getting ready for her first competition! From where I sit on the 2nd floor, all the girls looks the same size but I had to laugh when the coaches lined up the girls by height- Bella is in the red leotard, 2nd from the right. :-) With her size and agility, this is the perfect sport for her!
Looking forward to enjoying all these moments with the girls at their different stages right now.
It's a good balance for us!

Good luck Julia!!! Let me know how she did. I love how your girls are each striving for different things. Life of calmness and sitting around the house are over for us. :) But, I kind of like it. Big hugs to Secretary Julia.
ps, GOOOOO Lake Meade.
