The Four Voices

Did you have four voices: the voice you hear; the voice you speak; the voice in your head; and, the voice when you’re older.

I WISH FOR A DOG

I wish for a dog.
I want a dog for Christmas.
Dogs go Woof! Woof! Woof!

For the W on Lake Banook

Charlotte just picked up her first heat win in K1. Based on her singing and dancing on the dock, we can tell—it’s a pretty good feeling after all these years of hard work and effort.



Let’s see what she does now that she has had the first taste of victory.

“Sometimes I wish that, when I was born, like, I came out feet first—that way, like, for just a moment, I could have worn Mum as a hat!”

First Gymnastics Competition

 Hot on the heels of a UK Trip and still a little jet-lagged, Charlotte competed in her first gymnastics competition. The event consisted of horizontal bars, vault, beam, and a floor routine. No medals this time around, but she's improving with every appearance. Watch this space--she's on the up and up!








First Back Hand Spring!

 Nailed it!

UK Wedding - Becci & Nonnie Get Hitched

After sixteen years together and three years of waiting for things to clear up after the pandemic, Becci and Nonnie finally tied the knot! Michelle, Charlotte, and Will grabbed a lemon-scented facemask and flew to the UK to join them for the big event.

Afterwards, we headed to Brighton for a brief family holiday on the English Channel, where we strolled on the pier, played arcade games, walked on the beach, and ambled down the Lanes with Becci, Nonnie, Esther, Tessa, and the two dogs, Saffi and Rico in tow. We would write more, but the pictures speak for themselves.

Congratulations, guys. We were so delighted to be there with you!
