It's been a fun, fun summer!

Sheer Determination...

Much to Daddy's chagrin, biking has NOT been one of Bitty's favorite pastimes. In fact, we can count the number of times she's been on this particular bike on one hand...in the past year and a half. Noble woke up with a fever today and Mommy's frantically scrambling to get some work done while he's down for a nap, so Kayci and Daddy have been playing outside (okay, if you call mowing playing) this morning. I got a call to come outside, and this is what I saw...she's going fast (for the first time EVER), turning around, and has even learned how to dismount safely when the bike tips. I know we were supposed to go to church this morning, but I think God's been spending PLENTY of time with our little ones this morning, right here at home. :)

Swimming Lessons

This marks the end of Kayci’s first week of swimming lessons. She took them last year with our friend Tiffany, but she’s still not “a swimmer.” Well, after this week, she’s still not a swimmer. But she’s having a blast and getting a little braver every day, so we’ll call the lessons a success. We have another week, so who knows…
Noble loves swimming lessons because he’s outside for a whole hour. And you know what being outside does to him..

P.S. Guess who’s become a thumb-sucker? We think its too cute!!

Rub a Dub Dub...

Noble’s first time to swim…he loves it! Of course he’d rather be on his tummy, but Daddy kept freaking out so I turned him over for pictures. He cried when I took him out, but I’m of a mind that blue babies are bad things…

First trip to the Aquatic Center...Noble slept the entire time, so we didn't even get wet!
