We went today for the beginning of the second week of swim lessons. Both of the boys are doing wonderfully! I am so pleased to see Nathan being unafraid of the water. The first video is of Nathan swimming...using arms and everything! The second video is of Grayson floating on his back and kicking with the instructor. Please ignore the audio from the lady sitting next to me...she was telling us about getting a flat tire in the heat. :-)
Nathan swimming
I have to say that I will be glad when the lessons are over, because I am exhausted! They make the parents sit upstairs on bleachers...in a huge warehouse...in 100 degree heat...with not much ventilation. I sweat profusely for the entire hour and a half that I am there. It is really hard to see from up there and of course heat rises so all the parents just sit and swelter. Thank goodness it is not August...though this heat wave makes me feel like it is. Pray for rain!

Busy Day!
I have been playing catch-up with the posts since we were so busy Sunday and Monday. It seems as though there is much to share today.
Today was the first day of swimming lessons for both of the boys. I scheduled at the Dynamo swim center since we have a difficult coordinating them any other way. I am so relieved that Nathan is finally learning to swim and to not be afraid of the water. Grayson, on the other hand, has no fear whatsoever. It can be trying at times because the child will just jump in without a care in the world. They had a blast in New Orleans: they got to go on a boat ride with Auntie Elizabeth (and daddy, Uncle Corey, Mel, and Uncle Kyle). They got to swim in Lake Pontchartrain amongst the algae and fun stuff. They had a blast! Grayson with his go, go, go attitude kept yelling for Elizabeth to "Go FASTER!" Again, no fear. Aunt Sandy and Uncle Leni had a pool that they could not wait to swim in. Each time Nathan got in the pool he became more confident. So happy to see that. I wondered why Grayson kept licking the water...come to find out from Ronny that the water is salt water rather than chlorine. No wonder!
On another note, as we were driving home yesterday we noticed that there was a space center in Mississippi. Interesting. I never heard of it before so I went online to check it out: the Stennis Space Center. Apparently they are getting ready to put a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) up into space. They are offering for people to have their name go into space with the orbiter. I put all of our names on their list. You should do it too...though you can only sign up until June 28th of this year, so hurry! Go here to sign up.
