Our family enjoyed the Winter Olympics this year. It was nice that Mid-Winter Break landed on the second week of the Olympics so we could all stay up late watching and rooting for our favorite athletes. The girls absolutely loved the figure skating. Julia has a new hero-- Yulia Lipnitskaya from Russia. Natalie was in love with the outfits. Whenever a new skater came on the ice Natalie would say something like, "Her outfit is just gorgeous! Oh, THIS outfit is the best!" The more shiny and sparkly the better. They were not fans of the male ice skaters though. Cameron muttered something like, "That is just embarrassing" and when Natalie saw their outfits she kept saying things like, "Awkward!" Mitch and I could hardly blame them... ha ha! The kids were so cute while watching all the athletes, Julia said that she thinks that she might break a world record in something one day, she just isn't sure in what yet and Cam told us that he "thinks he would like to complete in the Olympics, but probably in running." We told them that we would be in the front row cheering them on when that happens. The other week Cameron asked Mitch if he would be mad at him if he went to the University of Oregon for running (one of the best xc running schools in the nation.) Mitch said, "Only for you Cam could I ever be a Duck fan, but if you went there I would be!" So that might be fun to watch.... Mitch becoming a Duck fan....stay tuned for the future!
See you in four years!
Go Ducks! We will be in the front row cheering too for all your kids!
