Pardon the break from the fitness stuff for a second…. Today my oldest started kindergarten.  My youngest started Pre-K.  Do they look ready to you?  LOL!  As a sappy, over-protective dad, today was a tad bit emotional.  Last week was really challenging on a personal and professional level for me, but at the very end of the week we got some great news involving our youngest which made it all better.  Our girls walked into school like champs and it made me feel good to see their confidence.  Little Emily even said “Daddy, I’m not gonna cry.” They both did so well and the atmosphere this morning at the house getting ready was even different.  Much more upbeat.  This weekend has been awesome and we have been getting them excited about starting school.  Not sure what all has changed but both my girls have been much more “attached” to me lately and I can’t get enough of it.  I love my time with them and I love that we are a close family. Anyway, since I took the day off to be able to take them to school and pick them up, I am going to use the free time to get a little swim in this morning.
