When Are You a Celebrity?

The other day when I took Grayson swimming a woman told me about a man who often brings his young sons to the pool.The woman commented, "Those boys are so talented in the water! Their dad has them on YouTube - they are that talented." My response was, "Oh, wow. YouTube! They must be good." Once the words rolled out of my mouth I wondered why I was impressed by their YouTube presence. Now, I don't doubt the boys' athletic ability, but I doubt the credibility of YouTube as a measure of their success. Anyone and everyone is on YouTube. This guy is on YouTube, and he has received over 1.5 millions viewers. Why?

Do you consider YouTube to be a legit measure of making it big?

Summer Forecast

Water, especially swimming in the water, plays a large role in my family. I don't remember not knowing how to swim. I swam in my first swim meet when I was 2-years-old. A majority of my childhood memories involve swimming and spending time in the water. It has been special to get Grayson and Lu in the water. It's a family affair. My mom and sister-in-law have been the first to dunk both Grayson and Lu. I am grateful that both kids love being in the water. Our recent swim time made me very excited for this summer.

This past weekend was Lu's first time to the beach and in the pool. I miss living by the beach. Hopefully the beach will not be too foreign to the kids as they get older.

Friday

The weekend is here! Not only is it the weekend, but it is also John's Spring Break. Hosanna! A break from the daily routine has never come at a better time. We have been tuckered out lately.

This weekend some friends from church are hosting an Easter Egg Hunt. I am so excited. Last year Grayson was a little too young to appreciate a good egg hunt. I think he has a little more competitive edge this year. Sunday afternoon we are headed down to Savannah to spend a few days with the fam. My sister-in-law will give Lucy her first swim lesson. It's become a family tradition that my sister-in-law is the first one to take our kids swimming. I love traditions that form organically.

Have a fantastic weekend! I'll leave you with some good music from Athens.
