The swimming family.

The kids and I took swimming lessons in January and February. While it was a big hassle getting us all ready to go on Saturday mornings, it was a lot of fun cheering each other on during lessons. I felt sorry for the bored parents on the sidelines:)

There were only four adults in the "adult" class so we got lots of individualized attention. We started with the basics where I learned I've been kicking wrong all along. I'm still not great but I am on my way....triathlon? Anytime my kids would whine I would say, "you have to learn now or you'll have to learn when your 27!" Charlie and Matthew both made great progress but I think I'll stick with lessons that are closer together (everyday for two weeks) instead of spread out over months.

Good for you to take lessons too! I don't think I would have thought of that but I could really use it when it comes to swimming.

So....YW eh? I have to say Hannah looks so incredibly grown up & gorgeous! I couldn't believe it. And I can't believe Aubrey is old enough already, I guess a lot happens in a year. Say hi to Kay for me!

Good for you! Colter did 2 triathlons last year and loved it! He's discovered he loves swimming! Know where you're going yet?

So fun you're in YW!
