Swimming

Jase and Meghan took swim lessons last fall at the YMCA. By the end Meghan could keep herself afloat without any help from people or flotation devices. Jase liked the water, but wasn't able to keep himself afloat. Since we haven't been swimming since, both kids were somewhat cautious of the pool at the hotel.

A monster collage of pool pics (between our 2 families we had the pool filled - 4 adults, 7 kids):

I loved this action shot of Joe and the kids being splashed by one of the kids (I think this was Carys...)

Meghan when she got too cold swimming - I was getting her to say different words to get different faces - cheese is a smile and eyes shut, one of them is monkey, cookie, and dinosaur...

Maybe the next time we go to a pool, Meghan won't get ringworm...

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique for each mother and each family. Many are able to be 'full-time moms,' at least during the most formative years of their children's lives, and many others would like to be. Some may have to work part- or full-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
