Future Olympians

Yes, i think we have some future Olympians on our hands. Maura has been enthralled with the Olympics since they started. We watched the opening ceremony, complete with Chinese takeout and a tea party with the tea set Mimi and Papa just got the girls form China. On Saturday we headed to Chinatown to soak up the culture. This was not as excited as Mom thought it would be, however taking the train to get there was... good call dad!

The girls love watching gymnastics. They then put on their new leotards and throw their little bodies all over the place. Maura has declared that she is going to be on the Women's Gymnastics team.. the China one! I tried to convince her the US team would be great, but to no avail.

We just signed Mo up for her first "real" gymnastics class which will start in September. She was very excited to see the gym and all the equipment, even though she has been there before when I coached cheerleading. She is working hard on her cartwheel, and has informed me that she already knows how to do the balance "rope." mags started crying as soon as we walked in the gym; she will not be joining the class anytime soon.
