Swim lessons for the girls!

This is Jon. We signed the girls up for swim lessons this spring. One has literally jumped into it, while the other has cautiously dipped her toe in the water. Delaney is giggly happy every 30-minute session whereas Adelyn has slowly immersed herself.

We've had two 30-minute sessions so far. The first session Adelyn just whimpered and clung to Brittany. I got in the pool to see if that would help and it didn't.

The second session was significantly better, so we're hopeful Tuesday's session continues to improve.

Delaney, however, (with her back to us in this photo) has immediately made new friends and has taken a few risks as she gets comfortable with her instructor. Both girls have loved the pool, but this is the first time Delaney has tried to put her face underwater. She hasn't done it completely (a couple of times on accident) but she's already done more during the two sessions than she has up until then. We're so proud.

Practicing her swim kicks.

This is a good shot of her new swim suit.

Our happy little fishy!

Quarterly update from KTown

Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders. Adelyn with her second year of softball. Again, a noticeably different level of competition. Delaney will eat anything, just like me. Food is fun, especially when you try new things. We're at the Crab Pot along the Seattle waterfront and we got a seafeast of salmon, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, sausage and corn. It was deee-lish. Dee Dee and her shrimp...right before she ripped its head off to grub down. Kittitas day at the Mariners game. 80 of our closest friends from KTown in attendance. Took Adelyn and Brittany to Saltwater State Park. Adelyn loved the shells, crabs and the clams underneath the surface squirting water. On our way home, we got stopped on the pass for the roadwork blasting. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this beauty. Adelyn with my hat, a rain coat, pajamas, ten...

When Mommy's sick and Daddy's in charge...

...this happens... Addy is potty training (quite successfully and very quickly I might add) so she's pretty much pantsless 24/7. She doesn't usually wear Brittany's boots, though. That's Addy again, wearing Delaney's wicked witch hat. Don't know where she got it. Delaney and her sunflower she's been growing since the last few days of school. It finally bloomed at the beginning of this week...and Delaney's wearing Mommy's boots now.

This is Jon. We celebrated Adelyn's 4th birthday party over the course of a few days. Parents party, grandparents party and kids party. She was very spoiled. Can't believe this girl is four! Addy Bear with her new Barbie Bike. Two lovely ladies... Getting ready to dig in... She looks like she's ready to hit the town in her new outfit. A big boost in her piggy bank! My two girls lookin' cute. I think she looks adorable in these two pics!
