Last summer the kids were slightly intimidated around the water... but this summer they seem to be turning a new leaf (Is that the right expression? Anyways... ) Our brave Halee saw one of her little friends jumping off the side into Uncle Andrew's arms and she told me, "ump, mommy." So i put her up on the side but didn't think she would actually do it, and without any hesitation at all she jumped right into my arms... and came up laughing... "aden, mommy! aden!" (again:) So we got some pictures of her jumping into Papa's arms... Hal, I am so proud of you!!!
Ready...
Go!!!!!
I can also kick my legs and get myself around the pool...
In the pool on a hot summer day with my Papa... How can life get any better???
Siah, who is usually a little more timid at first has gotten so brave that when he's in his inner-tube he can kick his way from one side of the pool to the other without ANY help!!!! Buddy I am sooooooo proud of you!!!
I'm "all by self" in the middle of the pool!!!
I kicked my legs all the way to Papa...
This is my friend Brenna... we like to race in our inner-tubes... If you can enlarge this picture, check out "my happy face"...
Papa, one of my bestest friends...
Siah and Hal are learning so many new things and I feel so blessed to be home with them to witness so many of their accomplishments!! Blessing upon blessing :)
