Last Day of Swim Lessons & Painting

The Colonel really liked Cody, Miss Julie's helper. He worked with Stephen his second week of lessons.
Without Miss Julie's patience and slowly pushing her instead of overwhemling her; Natalie would not be where she is today with her swimming--she certainly would not LOVE it. This is especially true of the amazing foundation she built with Natalie last year. It took a lot of skill and love and we love her for it.

Plus, Natalie has a pretty amazing Daddy who loves to work with her and is the BEST person I know to teach something, he is so patient and great!!

Our little lady is finally jumping in the pool. After not being able to be in the water because of her central line until last summer, she is finally over her timid nature around the water. She is in LOVE with swimming and SO proud of herself. Geronimo is the new thing she yells when she jumps in.

We had a major paint night the other day. As you can see, The Colonel is following in his sister's footsteps in his love of painting.


He had the BEST time painting outside, probably because he could stop and play with (and probably paint) some rolly pollys.


You can see her paint shirt is well loved!
