Today we awakened to rain! Ugh! This is not good for a swim meet. The kids swim and did great as usual. Francesca accomplished her goal. Dom was satisfied with his performance. Gabby had personal bests in a number of events. Vincent was "on fire." ( I guess it was a good thing that we had rain :) ). Angelo got a little wet, played with his swim team friends, and had to wear Daddy's sweatshirt to keep warm! All in all...a good day.
Kenny and I worked on our "stuff" for Russia, i.e. planning what to take and what we need to do before we go. We ordered our visas. We have decided that Dominic will stay home this trip. In the event that we need to make a second trip, Dom will return with me to Russia. In about three weeks. It's bittersweet for Dom, for should the judge waive our ten day waiting period, Dom won't be going to Russia. But, he is in agreement to wait until the possible, and by law, third trip. We think this is the safest plan for all of us.
Attached to this blog is a clip of Vinnie's backstroke. What a champ!!! He came in second out of eight swimmers.
