Happy Monday

june15084
Someone has learned how to swim in the past week way beyond my expectations! She can now swim the entire length of the pool with no help; coming up for air when she needs it and keeps on going! Handstands, dives, canonballs, you name it this little fish is trying it. We are totally amazed! We have not taken ANY time to coax her, teach her...nothing... She does it ALL on her own.

When I saw Annslee playing with her Barbie pool, I thought my girls would really enjoy one too.


Caitlyn loves for the girls to be 'nakey' but I found these dolls that have their suit painted on. So now when she takes their skirts off they still look like they have their suits on.;)

I loved this one, she just decided she would slide down their slide with them.;)

I love this one too! She always loves to take little breaks laying beside the pool and they had to lay with her. :)

  • Your pictures are always amazing, but those last two are just priceless! Too funny. (Linlee has also tried to participate in activities meant for toys. LOL!)

  • Connie,

    I am catching up with my blog reading....I am glad that you shared the trauma list. I know that many of us do not realize quite how traumatized our children can become from the events that occurred before they came to us.

    I can not believe that Caitlyn is swimming so well!! Hooray for her!!! I am sure that is a big relief for you, too. I remember how relieved I felt when my older 2 could swim.

    The pictures with Caitlyn and the flowers below are gorgeous as are the ones with Jacob!

    Love the pool pictures, too!!

    Have a wonderful day!!!

  • Way to go Caitlyn - if I could just get my girls over the water in the face we would be thrilled. Swimming the whole length of the pool at Caitlyn's age is amazing. Way to go Caitlyn! She looks cute as can be!
