Time for swimming lessons again


We have the kids enrolled in swimming lessons again this year, but this time, with a teacher that has a bit of a kinder approach.  Unfortunately, the kids had to miss 1 class out of the 4 because of a day-long bout of vomiting.

 Caleb is doing great, excited to go to swim and loving his confidence. 

 

 check out that technique! He is really getting pretty good
 
 
 Josie is doing great at swimming, but is not excited to go or loving it when she is there (she may have preferred the vomiting).  she volunteers to go first on every task because she just wants to get the whole thing over with.  Her skills are improving, even if her love for going under is not.

Look who's 3 already

Josie celebrated turning 3 on June 15 and enjoyed being the birthday girl for the entire day, and then a couple days beyond that as well.
 This is one of the funnier attempts I had trying to get a good picture of her with the balloon.  I did ask her to hold it in front of her (meaning her stomach). 





She then got to celebrate on Sunday, June 17 at the cottage once again...
more candles and cake.

Caleb and Josie both rode behind the boat a lot that day--some tube rides, some toboggan rides.

Hot weather

 The kids have been spending a lot of time in the sprinkler and going down the slide into the kiddie pool
 Caleb likes the fast ride of a wet slide and suit much more than Josie does.


Some time at the cottage, trying to stay cool and practicing swimming.

Strawberry Stained Smiles

 With my first official day off for the summer (and September and October), we thought we'd go pick a box of berries.  Josie pretty much only picked and ate, but Caleb was a great contributor to the box in addition to his tummy.  


 Sure, she's cute picking...much cuter than her 32 weeks
pregnant mom was bending down to pick.
