We’re back!

Now that we have our new computer up and running and have somewhat figured out how the new operating system works, blogging is back on!  And have we been busy in our absence! We moved out of our house and into an apartment, Mommy and Daddy went to Italy, beach parties, Mother’s Day, swimming, field day at school…you get the idea!  I will work on catching everyone up, but for today we will work on swimming!
Our apartment complex has a great swimming pool. When the pool opened on Memorial Day, Diana would swim with her floaties on, but not jump in and Cara wouldn’t even swim in the water.  How things have changed!  Now Diana swims with a kickboard only, will jump in and do cannonballs, and will swim underwater (with her floaties on) for a little bit!  Cara is now a very confident floatie swimmer and has started to try jumping off the side of the pool if Daddy is there to catch her.  They are very brave and we are so proud of the progress they have made in such a short time! 

Cara swimming…she loves to tell everyone “And I swim all by myself!”

At our bell choir director's pool…Diana almost jumped off, but got scared at the last minute. With the progress she’s made this week, I think she’d be able to do it now!

Diana is already so excited to try going off the slide in Minocqua this summer!  We’ll see…  Smile
