After x-rays showing it was not broke, he thought we should just leave it alone and let nature takes it course...which he said would be a Looooong time with the nail falling off and probably coming back deformed.

Swim Meets

Sam has been on swim team again this year I just keep forgetting to bring my camera. Here are a few pictures from his last meet. He is a much stronger swimmer than last year and although it is tough commitment it is one of the best things we are doing for him.

Betsy's pool

Since we didn't have a big enough weekend, we headed over to a friends house to swim after church. I had a great time catching up with an old friend and enjoying the company of her now adult children. The kids had a blast too.
