July House Party @DHD

sorry, folks, I'm late to the party... mostly because we've been doing lots of fun stuff this last week & we had a big party of our own yesterday, celebrating our middle kid's 10th birthday. I'm hoping to post highlights from that later today, but first, I thought I'd better show you what I contributed to the DHD House Party.

I had to scrap this photo of Lydia at her swimming lessons last week. Although it's not that great... it definitely was a great memory!  This girl took several jumps off the low dive with & without a life jacket, a few jumps off the high dive to her teacher waiting at the bottom & went down the water slides for the first time by herself.  She's getting big enough & strong enough to swim herself to the places she needs to be & is so very determined. Of course, she still needs help every now & then when those little arms & legs get tired, but she has come so far.  She is definitely my fearless one. Collin & Evan amazed me as well this week with flips off the high dives.  So much fun to watch them!  Both of them were told by their teachers they are great swimmers & Collin almost beat his teacher racing across the pool.  Collin was also doing some work to retrieve bricks from the bottom of the pool & trying to save the dummy.

What a great week to be at swimming lessons. It was a nice hot week & the kids always love spending every day at the pool {I didn't mind it either}

I'll be back again later... today's going to be a multiple post day ;)
