Introducing our magical swim teacher: Ms. Barbara. In only two weeks(or rather one day), she got James diving, swimming the full length of the pool, and happily floating. Prior to our lessons, Ruth would barely put her face in the water and if she did, with much drama. There was no drama when she was with Ms. Barbara. She was the first volunteer to dive, jump, swim... whatever Ms. Barbara asked. She's not completely water safe yet, but definitely crazy about water.
Sometimes mischief happens during naptime., even in a crib.
The kids brought home goldfish from our stake pioneer celebration. The day after I bought fish food, we found James' fish floating on the surface of the water. He was terribly devastated. Actually, that's an understatement. In mourning, James drew this picture of Cevin before we flushed him to the ocean. There is tenderness inside that boyish heart.
Ruth and Eleanor: best buddies and conveniently, cousins. They spend hours in a world that no one else understands. What I do know is that it's filled with flowers, fairies, songs, and girlish delight. Finding something suitable to wear is always the first item of business.
