My Gold-Medal Gymnast – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
My sister, Andrea, shared these pictures of my daughter Reese this week on her Facebook page. The pictures were taken late this summer while Reese was staying with Andrea for a few weeks.

Mommy Olympics
I was never what you’d call a great athlete. I was a star at ballet, but that was pretty much it. I stunk at soccer, basketball, volleyball (ouch!), and every other game they made us play at P.E. and recess when I was a kid. And forget Winter sports. I tried skiing several times and…
