This is Matt the day before the State Swim Meet last week. Note the newly-shaven head for faster entry and speedy swimming in the water. Very cute. Reminds me of when he was little and had those little boy summer cuts where you basically just had it all shaved off for ease in the summertime. You would never know this now, but Alex was always the one who wanted his shaved clear down to absolutely nothing...now we can't get near him with any sort of trimming device. (Oh, you might have noticed that from recent photos, I guess.)
This shirt Matt is sporting is his state shirt that he earned as a member of the state swim team...okay, he was the only member, but the shirt was well earned! Anyone who goes to state gets a state shirt and Guerin was right on track with this one. The image on the back is a swimmer coming up out of the water in case you can't really tell that. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
I know these posts are coming slowly and you have already looked it up and know how he placed at state, but I should have one more post, and then be caught up with swimming news. I thought I was all better on Tuesday when I was actually up and about...for two hours...and then came crashing down and had a relapse. Today, I think I might be able to drive up to Guerin to get Matt, which will be really good news for Jan as she has been helping out by going up and getting him in the afternoons, taking him to Carmel High School for swim practice, etc. Since her child goes to CHS, this is way above and beyond the call of duty. I thank you very much, Jan! Okay, here is this post...I will try to finish the swimming one by tonight. (Oh, and too bad about those Hawks losing last night at Penn State...it was close...very very close!)
