Olympic viewing

Our family has loved watching every minute of the Olympic games.  The only problem is that we had to sometimes choose between watching the Reds play and watching the Olympics.  I've loved not only watching the Olympics, but watching the kids watch the Olympics.  They were actually really looking forward to it this year, and I don't think they've been disappointed.  And they understand that we always root for USA!

Olympic viewing has also made me a little emotional...it's kind of ridiculous!  But when they show a parent who is watching their child, I can't help but tear up.  It's really getting to me this year.  For some reason the athletes themselves can be bawling and I'm okay, but show me a parent who is either proud and in tears, or devastated and in tears, and I'm crying right along with them!  Overall though, we've thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks of Olympics (and it doesn't hurt that the Americans win A LOT)!
