Another Beginning

This past weekend was the state meet for Indoor Track.  Our season, our hard work, our frustrations, our encouragement...all led to these days.

And we had two State Champions.  One of them, a girl, is a state champ in THREE events.  Girls are third in the state.  Boys are fourth.

And tomorrow starts the first official practice for outdoor.  And it's our parent meeting (which is always messy).  And we've got more interested athletes already than we can possibly handle.  Cuts will have to be made.  And there are going to be more tears, but I also know there are going to be more wins. And group hugs and medals and trophies bigger than my head.  And late nights and fast food and days where I see my husband for an hour before bedtime.  But I'm not sure if I could have it any other way right now- where I've got more than 100 children that I love with all their quirks and their talents.

And so ends another season.  And so begins another.
