Proud Father Alert

.
Meg won a silver medal at a swimming gala today!

I was about to launch into a rant about filling in forms just to be able to take a photo of my own daughter in the swimming pool, but then remembered I did all that last year.

In fact I could repeat last year’s post almost word for word, so for anyone interested, click here to read it (Medal Won at the Swimming Gala) and I’ll just stick up a photo of my wee lass and her extremely proud father.

  14. Ahhh, that is a great photo!

    Banzai to Meg, and omedeto, too. (Words of congratulations...)

    And while I'm at it, you and Maggie ought to pat yourselves on the back too, because whenever a kid gets a medal, however talented that kid is, the Mom and Dad deserve a helluva a lot of the credit (oops, here comes my daughter, better hurry up and post this before she sees it!!)
