my random ramblingsan infrequent (and these days, mostly Mira related…) blog

friend of Лена’s dropped off her dog on Sunday, as she’s out of the country for a week to coach a competition. already having a great time with Lucia, missed having a four-legged companion around.

again no practice today, but took Mira to a bday bowling party early afternoon. in the evening she was back at Charlotte’s for a sleepover.

no practice today, so took the girls to the park after school. lots of tree climbing… and stopped by Cone for ice cream before heading home.

Лена’s entire L4 and L5 teams competing today. huge turnout for Regionals, lots of girls from all of the surrounding states. Mira was excited to wear her new leotard, and did a great job, ending up 5th AA. maybe the last competition of the year?

starting to warm up, so finally had a chance to put together some flower boxes for the balcony. next up – outdoor kitchen.

up early morning to get ready and drive out to Deerfield for Mira’s rhythmic gymnastics state meet. Лена’s whole team did well, and Mira ended up 3rd AA in her L4 age group.

single class at home, then Charlotte came by and we all headed over to Altitude for some trampoline fun. stopped by Charlotte’s later for the girls to ride their hoover boards, takeout sushi at home, and a couple of games of Canvas before bed.

up early for presents and my homemade banana birthday cake. great to have Michael, Alexa, and Brooke in town for an extended weekend to celebrate. dropped Mira off for 4 hours of gymnastics, then off to a theater for the first time in more than a year to see Raya. peaceful night at home.

drove out to the ‘burbs for Mira’s last artistic meet of the year. another good showing by the team, everyone medaling in at least one event. Mira was just outside of the AA standings, but got a few individual medals. grabbed dinner with Charlotte’s parents on the way home.

another long drive, this time for Mira’s artistic gymnastics state meet. was the only one from her L3 team in her age group, so was missing out on the typical camaraderie aspect of the meet. did really well, but placed just outside of an AA ranking.
