Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. This summer flew by. Athena kept us busy and entertained the entire time. Rolling back the clock a bit, Athena started swimming as soon as the pool was warm enough. In a few short weeks she went from being afraid to put her face in to diving and swimming the length of the pool underwater. She also attended cheerleading and gymnastics camp and now believes she is ready for the professonal ranks.
We celebrated the 4th at Uncle Van (and Patty's)house. Where poor Athena receive no attention from her Dad (probably because I saw her for a total of 20 minutes the entire day since she was busy with her cousins).
Daddy went to Daytona the night before and hung out with the Fox/Rumpf clan at the track.
Athena then started her month (and counting)long birthday celebration. (When did birthday's start lasting more than the actual day?) Anyway, she went to Busch Gardens, Disney, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios. during her time in Orlando she actually had her birthday so Uncle Scott took her out for her birthday drink.
I almost forgot the most important day of the summer...if I left this out I would no longer be allowed in the house. Athena and Miranda attended the Jonas brothers concert on Aug. 18th. due to a screw up on the site their seats were stage side. they sat near enough that the opening singer (forgive me I have no idea who it was and have been told numerous times) shook Athena's hand. The Jonas' attempted to high five her but she was too short...so after the show one of them (again no idea who is who) peaked out from backstage and sent a roadie out with a guitar pick for Athena. When she arrived home (I thought she would have been out cold but I was mistaken...big time!) she ran upstairs yelling 'Daddy, Daddy THIS WAS THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!' I then got a recap of the entire nights events, including how the band jumped on stage!
Hope everyone had a great summer and....HORRAY SCHOOLS BACK!!!
