Two Swimmers

Lily got invited over to Courtney's house to swim yesterday around lunchtime. This was great timing because she finished her swim lessons yesterday. Amanda said that she is getting more confident. She can float on her back by herself and even do a little bit of a backstroke. She still needs to improve over the next year before she could take the next level of classes, but she is on the right track.

Amanda was amazed at Noah's fearlessness around the water. In fact, he probably needs to learn a little bit of respect for the water. He jumped right to Amanda in the pool and loved it. Amanda tried doing some stuff she saw in the beginner's class and he did great. He blew some bubbles and got his face dipped in the water. He really loves the water. Hopefully he can learn enough to remain confident in it and not go through the fear stage.

Amanda and the kids are going to another friend's house this afternoon for swimming. Then on Saturday evening we've been invited over to Courtney's house again for dinner after church and more swimming. When it rains it pours for us when it comes to social events. Amanda is happy because it is helping to fill out the days. Next Wednesday we leave for Ohio. Then the Saturday after we get back we go to the beach for 3 nights. It will be August before we know it!
