Rachel PASSED her first swimming class last Friday. She did a great job listening to her teacher and paying attention during class. She put her entire head under water several times during the last week and she's certainly more comfortable in the water now. She started the next level yesterday and once she finishes that session that will be it for this summer.

The rest of the weekend was spent mostly at home. We had our little buddy Maclain's 1st Birthday on Sat night and the girls enjoyed swimming for a few hours. Sunday we bummed around and Scott took Rachel to playground at her new school. Rachel is so excited start kindergarten and I plan on taking her to do a little "school shopping" this weekend. I never thought the day would come when I would be taking MY kids to buy school supplies!!!!

Annie continues to work on her walking skills. I've caught her walking across the entire living room a couple times. I've tried getting her on video but it seems she does better when your not paying attention to her. I guess all that added pressure gets to her. She has her two top teeth coming in so sleeping has been interrupted the last few nights. Hopefully these teeth will come in quickly so we can all get some much needed sleep again!!

I took a few days off in August and we hope to take the girls to the Niabi Zoo before Rachel starts school. With gas prices so high we haven't ventured too far from CR this summer. The zoo is the perfect size for that age and we can easily see all the exhibits in one day.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MARK & KARA!!!!

Who-hooo...she passed!!!!
