"Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting."
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
Isla had another gymnastics meet this weekend and it was her best one yet. She placed fourth overall in her age group, which included a first place bar finish. Most importantly, she wasn’t nervous and said she had a fun time. Each meet gets better than the last one and we’re looking forward to watching Isla progress in her gymnastics.
James had a soccer game this weekend as well. Unfortunately he didn’t get as much play time as he has in the past so we don’t have many pictures. Nina and Papa came to watch him play, and James got into a match with Nina after the game. Nina lost.
Isla’s reading is improving at a remarkable rate. She’s reading full books now and insists on reading one, if not two, every night. She’s well past where she’s supposed to be according to her teacher, and we’re proud of how much effort she’s putting into learning. As a reward, we took her to go vote this week. Okay, it wasn’t a reward, but she was interested in voting and I needed a way to put the picture on here.
