Maria has taken gymnastics all year and really loves it. Mommy has been photographing it for one hour and is really having a hard time with the lighting. We hope to someday remedy that. In the meantime, enjoy Maria's finesse on the beam (the closest apparatus to the viewing area). Maria loves her highschool age instructors, and I have to say, they do a really nice job encouraging the girls. Every time they do something that is in the slightest way better than the last time, the instructor says "Yes, that's it! Good job!".
Maria's favorite thing to do is vault, and bars is a close second. Unfortunately, the bars are really really far from where I sit, and they didn't vault on this particular day. She doesn't love beam, even though we actually made her a very cool beam for at home. It's very professional if I say so myself, padded and covered in faux suede. Is it ever used? Hmmm...not really. That kind of happens when you pour your sweat into a hand crafted item for your children.

I still can't believe how grown up the girls are now!!! They were so little WAY back when we met you....time has flown!!
Wow - she looks great! Is there an Olympic champion in our midst???
I of course picked the pics that make her look like THE MOST talented and amazing 8 year old gymnast around! She's sooo cute (even after all these years!!).
