Auburn football and USA swimming {especially Michael Phelps mad skills} are the only two sporting events that make me jump up and down in front of the tv screen like an absolute mad woman! I really think my children {who were still awake last night} thought I had lost my mind! Please tell me you all saw it!?
Way to go USA!

Our TV has been on non-stop Olympics and I love it. I especially love watching it with JJ and getting inside scoop on the athletes and what goes on behind the scenes.

August 16, 2008 at 5:15 pmDarby, the gymnastics all around made me so nervous I was sick to my stomach. The tension, compounded by the fact that it was 2 hrs past my bedtime – almost too much to handle. I’m watching the marathon now. I don’t have near the interest when the Americans aren’t in it! Boring!

August 17, 2008 at 5:43 pmHey Darby! Just wanted to say hello and leave a comment. I havn’t been able to blog for various reasons. I love Mr. Phelps and have enjoyed watching him swim. It sounds like you all are doing well and adjusting to life with the little guy. I can’t wait to see pics of his nursery..did I miss those??

August 18, 2008 at 6:24 amSo amazing! Americans on this side of the world are going so crazy! Will happened to be on the same flight as the swim team going to Beijing from Singapore so he met the one and only. He said they were all so nice and so pumped up. Auburn was represented also- the best of both worlds!
