London 2012, here we come

It was a tough battle. The night opened up with a couple tourney in tennis. N's sister and brother-in-law came over for the finals in couples Wii. Bev and I were at a slight disadvantage, having children in our arms or grabbing our legs, but we didn't let that detour us from our hope for the gold.

It was a close game, until Bev hit me with her controller. Fortunately it was my left elbow, so I was still able to swing. The laughter and tears kept me from seeing the tennis ball.

Ever the competitors, the boys took advantage of our laughter and took home gold in couples tennis.

Later in the evening it was time for the individual rounds. N got his best game face on.


I countered with an equally fierce and forceful pose. It shook N to his core.

After two rounds of archery and two rounds of curling, I'm proud to say I took home the gold. I'm not going to lie. It wasn't all that tough. My practice in the off season has really paid off.

Fortunately, we are not bitter rivals. He's a good sport, especially since I made him serenade me with our National Anthem shortly before this.
