Looks like this is going to be the busiest week of my summer! Swimming lessons, T-Ball, and VBS are going to take over my afternoons and evenings until Thursday.
Swimming lessons have been great. We are taking from a girl who we also used last year. When I was setting up the lessons, I asked whether they thought ME was too young. I didn't want to pay for her if she was going to sit at the side and refuse to do what the teachers said. We agreed to give her a day to see how she did before committing.
The first day, she ran up, put on her goggles, and sat in the pool with the bigger kids! She has loved everyday of lessons so far and raises her hand and says, "My turn!" quite a bit! The boys are doing great, too. I have also enjoyed hanging out with my friend, Carol, while our kids are occupied for an hour!
We are anxiously awaiting our T-Ball game tonight. Four of our last five games have been cancelled due to rain! Parts of our community look like what you see on the Today Show during floods. A popular golf course two miles from my home is half underwater. A playground and picnic area next to our lake shows only its roofs. Crazy! It looks like it will be a dry week. Ready for some T-Ball!
I am doing the Music and Games for preschoolers during VBS. Lauren is helping me this year which has been fun! Our theme is Avalanche Ranch, so I have been dancing with the kids wearing my boots. Maybe I am not as young as I used to be, but I am having trouble stretching to my toes today. I think I will ditch the boots for tennis shoes tonight!
In book news, I read Those Who Save Us last week. It is about a young German woman during World War 2 and how she survived with a young daughter. It is one of the best books that I have read in a LONG time. I read most of the nearly 500 pages in two days. I am still thinking about it. I couldn't recommend it more highly! I started The Covenant by Beverly Lewis this weekend.
Hope you have a great week!

We're starting swim lessons today. I'm encouraged that Evan won't be too young since ME is doing so well. Cute picture, by the way! She looks like Thomas to me. :)
We are finally getting "some" rain here in North Alabama. Not a heap, as needed, but some.
Enjoy your week. Especially enjoy being with your kids.It sounds busy and fun.
Please continue praying for Paxon Jordon's family. We buried him yesterday.
I cannot express how pitiful it was.
We have had beautiful weather up here in NY. It is really hot today.
I wish you all lived closer so the children could use the pool.
I read that book and agree it was great. I am reading a book Nicholas & Alexandra. It is filled with so much history and having been to St. Petersburg it means so much.
Give the kids a hug from me.
