We spent Saturday in Irvine at the national swim meet watching niece #3 swim. She won her prelim heat and swam a personal best! However, in the Finals she didn't fare too well, but she was right there with Rebecca Soni (the winner) until the last 50M. She did make it on the US National team and will be competing in two weeks in the Pan-Pacific meet which will also be held in Irvine. She's training and rubbing elbows with Michael Phelps, Amanda Beard, Ryan Lochte, etc. Hmm... I wonder if she will miss the first week or so of school or not.

Sunday we worked on my parents' backyard. By 4pm I was down for the count. Once my brother got my dad's gas grill working, we had a barbeque for dinner - even dessert was barbequed (bbq'd peaches topped with french vanilla ice cream!). Good food, good company, good times!
My brother and nephews leave Tuesday morning, but my sisters are staying until the end of the week (leaving on Friday and Saturday). I know my dad has been in much better spirits since my brother and nephews arrived last Monday evening. He was a bit depressed after his doctor appt on Friday, but I can tell that having all of his kids and almost all of his grand kids around for the past couple of days has been encouraging for him. I'm doing Ok myself, but still think I'm a bit on the hypo side of things right now. Since my brother will be leaving early Tuesday morning, I will most likely take one of my sister's with me to my 8am ENDO appt instead of my mom. Still have no idea what the 'additional tests' may be.
Congrats to niece #3- way to go! Glad you're having some great family time.
