Beijing....here we come!!!!

OK...Maybe we won't make the Olympics this year, but for the past year the girls have been taking gymnastics on base. We have been really lucky to have a coach from Bulgaria (the one holding Luke). For some reason, people from that region have great skill in gymnastics and coaching! Coach Ozzie is amazing (and Coach Summer) and the girls absolutely adore both of them. Luke does too, but he doesn't take classes. I can't decide if I want him to take or not.
Anyway, two weeks ago the youth center had a gymnastic extravaganza and the girls were able to perform. They did a great job and received their first "medals" at the end of the program.

Claire progressed to the next level and Katheryn is going to get individual evaluation with Coach Ozzie soon. If it sounds like I am bragging....I AM! The Coaches
