Emily, the amazing 4 yr old swimmer!!! Luke's new moves...

Emily is now swimming under water for 10-12 feet all by herself. Above water, and with some support, she is swimming laps in our pool. I walk next to her as she makes her way down the pool. When she gets tired, she grabs ahold of my arm for a few seconds and then continues on. She is so proud of herself and wants to do more. She is also treading water for long periods of time. She calls this the "silly dance."


Luke is now sitting on his legs ready to get up and go. He's pulling up constantly and exploring the house. Yesterday he learned (again) that he's not supposed to pull books off of the bookshelf and thus put his attention into removing the magazines from the wicker basket. He had a lot of fun and I had a lot to clean up. :-)



Both kids enjoy their car rides still. When we take daddy's car, they enjoy playing with the drum sticks that he leaves behind. They also enjoy our weekly trip to the farm where we pick our own strawberries, and select the biggest and most appealing watermelon, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, etc. Emily walks right up to the stand and selects the tomatoes first... She also becoming an expert strawberry picker.

That's it for now. Keep checking for updates!!
