Getting in Shape in 2008

The Geneva Family YMCA is a big part of our family’s life. This past week, it seemed like we were there so much that we probably could have had our mail forwarded there.  We are lucky to have our community Y a stone’s throw from our home.  Not only do the boys spend some time there after school each day, but this past week they both started up a new session of swimming lessons, and participated in the Youth basketball program that they offer on Saturday mornings. Stephanie also set the alarm clock and went over to the YMCA for the red-eye aerobics sessions that begins at 6am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Steve was playing basketball at the Y a few days a week before he injured his back last summer.  He hopes to walk his way back into condition to resume playing hoops in 2008.  Carmella (our dog) is a lucky beneficiary of this conditioning too.   

Here is Nathan taking a break between lessons.

And here is Sean getting ready to practice a dive.

Nathan is trying to keep his ball away from the coaches(the sharks) as the Saturday morning basketball session wrapped up with a friendly game of sharks and minnows.

And here is Sean and Coach Steve getting ready for the “big kids” session.

 Here’s hoping you have a healthy and fit 2008!
