That is so disappointing that the news crews didn't show!!

But he should be so proud of what he has done. And Ricki is clearly proud of his Daddy! How cool is that?!

That was AWESOME! Both Dad & his feat & the interview (the swim was much awesome-r, just cause of what it was for!)! Even though the press didn't show, I'm so glad you did get some exposure. I also hope many more people show next year for the swim!

I didn't think it added 10 pounds to any of you - if it did - that Lila has to be minute in real life!

That was cool. So are you making it an annual event?

RBK's Realm said...

Are you kidding me- you guys -each of you were a natural in front of the camera and looked great!

I did not realize that this was going to be an annual event.

Good that you are planning to join your remarkable husband. I have just restarted swimming after years and boy it takes some effort to build up endurance so his feat is really something...

Go Geyers!

What a fabulous piece and I should add, about time! Ricky is just adorable and you and your husband are not so bad, either. You guys looked great on camera and your husband was too cute when he said that you were ".... somene cool, like I did"!

And I loved it when Ricky was explaining how his dad swam 13 miles and he said, "...like woe." Totally something my 7 year old would say.

You guys are amazing!

9. I can't beleive I saw Rickie moving around!

10. They've come such a long way, my daughter had to have manual percussions and they invented the hand held vibrating thing for chest percussions during her short life time! Imagine what can all come about during Rickie's.

Goosebumps and tears.

Loving you more.
