Maddie

Gymnastics has been such a big part of Maddie's life for so long now (and ours, too).  We love following her to meets such as the one in Daphne last weekend.   Gymnastics has helped her become poised, independent, and very resilient. Her gym abruptly closed with absolutely no warning in May, and she continued her journey at a new gym an hour away in Auburn.    Her friends and teammates made the decision to stop competing, but Maddie carried on by herself. I would love to say that all was smooth sailing, but the transition was hard on her. She missed her teammates, and the gym that was like a second home to her.  But, she has hung in there, and we are so proud of her!! This was a great meet for her and her team.  She was second all around, and her team won first place.  The best part to me was her sweet, sweet smile!! It is awesome watching her do something she loves!

Reed and Lillian are quite the troopers at these meets!

There is an app where the gymnasts live scores are posted, so normally we know where she has placed in each event.  However, this meet the scores weren't live, so we were super surprised and happy at the results!  I honestly don't remember how she placed in the individual events, but she was 2nd all around! Once again, she left with lots of medals!







And the team won 1st Place!  Great job!!


We wrapped this trip up with a late lunch at the Oyster House with these cuties!  We love them so!
