Bell Family Winter Games

We've been enjoying watching the Olympics as a family, cheering on the USA, watching the gifts and talents of the many athletes and teaching the children about the various sports and countries. Tonight, Abby said, "Mommy when Daddy takes Isaac and Jonah to the Olympics, can me and you stay home? I think my toes-ies would get cold there. We'll just watch them on t.v., okay?" I think she truly believes that HER brothers will be in the Olympics someday! She thinks they can do anything! And, WOW...her daddy...well...that's on a whole 'nutha level! If her brothers can be in the Olympics, her Daddy must be IN CHARGE of the Olympics! She just adores them - and I love that!

I think she has the idea that her brothers are going to be Olympic champions because Jonah is preparing to begin private swimming lessons at the local private college and Isaac is in gymnastics now at the local power tumbling center. Abby is so proud of them...and so are we! Hopefully, in the next few weeks, there will be plenty of pictures to follow.

By the way, Abigail will be performing as a butterfly in her dance Troupe's spring ballet performance of Cinderella. She is so excited! She will also have tap and jazz performances there as well. So, she is also quite the little busy bee as well.

My children are beginning to blossom into little individuals - little people with their own interests, desires, emerging gifts and talents. They are wanting to try new things, stretch their wings, try to fly...I want to see them go fo the Gold! But, no matter the result...I just hope they run the race set before them with perseverance.
