A handful of fun pictures!
I thought I'd share some cute pics of the kids.

The other day I found some cute bug umbrellas on sale, so I picked two up for the kids.  Here they are trying them out one rainy evening this week.

Here they are, walking down the sidewalk with their matching umbrellas!

Here's little miss Boo trying to twirl her umbrella.  Yes, her hair is almost down to her waist and she's only 2 year & 5 months old!  Isn't it amazing!

Here's Snuggle Bug standing proud with his umbrella.  Notice the superhero cape that he's wearing? That was one of the best things I've ever made and Snuggle Bug wears it constantly still!

The past 2 months the kids have had private lessons at our house. Believe it our not, it's ended up being less expensive than the swim school we had Snuggle Bug going to for the past 2 years.

Up until now, both Snuggle Bug and Boo have been afraid of the water and rather reluctant to do what their swim instructor asks of them in the water.

But this weekend we had a breakthrough. Something clicked and now both kids are actually swimming independently in the pool for short distances! Hooray!  We're so excited!

Here are a couple of pictures of them swimming.

Snuggle Bug swimming to Oronzo.  He's even gotten brave enough to jump off the side of the pool and swim back to the steps!

Boo swimming out to Oronzo.  Can you believe she's already swimming short distances (about 8 feet at a time) at only 2 years old?!

I hope you enjoyed my little slideshow!

Your pictures are adorable! My V loves to swim too - we have done lessons each summer for the past 3 summers. It's so nice to be able to get out and read in the sun while she swims!

It's about time I caught up and how wonderful things are going for you and your little family. I am so happy for you and continue to keep you in my prayers. Alexys loves the pool and is also taking lessons. She just turned three! So hard to believe. Hugs!
