Our Week in Review

Last week we celebrated Grandma 'Rene's birthday!  Luckily for us, Grandma loves ice cream!



Kara and Ben have been taking swimming lessons every day for the past two weeks and they have two weeks to go!  From the beginning Kara was excited and eager, while Ben was hesitant to put his face in the water (even though he did last summer).




Having Kara at the deep end of the pool made us pretty nervous at first, but Kara is now swimming by herself and she can go about half the pool length before having to hold onto the lane line for a quick rest.  She told me today that she is really proud of herself for being able to be in the pool without a teacher beside her.

Last week we had to bribe Ben to stay in the pool during swimming lessons and we had the 'no crying at the pool' talk a few times.  After a weekend of practicing in Grandma and Pampa's pool, I think Ben has turned the corner, for he now loves to put his face in and kick and paddle... at swim lessons today his teacher, Jessica, had to remind him other kids need a turn to swim too.




Even Jason is loving hanging at the pool...




With the 100 degree heat, you gotta be cool!
