Sam Starts Round 2 of Swim Lessons



Here is Sam at Round 2 of swim lessons. He had a set of lessons last summer and did really well after crying for most of the first two lessons. At the summer lessons, they wore goggles and water wings. This set of lessons at the indoor Aquatic Center doesn't let you have either! Sam has been monkey-walking down the side of the pool (hanging on with feet and hands), running across the width of the pool using "scoop hands", and going all the way under to get a toy that the teacher put on the bottom. We are really proud of his progress and hope that he gains swimming skill to go with his 'no-fear' attitude that he has at the pool!

Blog Attempt Number One


Pressured by Jason to start a blogspot, here I am. He thinks it is extremely convenient and very fun to check everyone else's blogspots PLUS I won't have to send out 50 emails every time Ava or Sam do something cute. I'm keeping this first one short in case I mess it up!

This picture is of Sam, holding baby Jamie (Cheri's Cousin Dan and Ruth's new baby) under big sister Maria's watchful eye.
