busy!

We finished up swimming lessons for Jack and Grace. I tried to get video, but it kept fogging up on me, and I had Luke squirming, so I gave up after a few attempts. They did really good, they both got to the deep end, jumping off the diving board, and swimming to the side. They can hold their breath underwater, and float, so we are getting closer to safety. There is one more beginner class, where they learn the basics of breathing while swimming. All of the classes are full, so they will have to wait. After that class, I'll take over, teaching them the different strokes, treading water, etc. Ive taught a million scouts how to swim, but never beginner swimming, so this is a good start for them. Luke is still doing good in his class. He almost jumps in the water and swims to me, he is still a little hesitant, but he has 2 more lessons to get it down.

Grace's art teacher from school started a 1 on 1 class with Grace today. We will add Jack to the lesson next week, and have her over to the house for most of the lessons. She is only charging $10/ hr. which is ridiculously cheap, especially having someone that Grace knows, and that knows Grace. Her and Jack are very excited. They will be doing paper mache next week, and we will go wherever Grace wants to take it. I hope to get her into oils before school starts. We will move lessons to different places, based on medium. Im excited for them, too.

So, every morning, we get up and go to the gym. On monday, they have art, tuesday is piano, wed is drums, then in the evening, we go back to the gym with Raegan for yoga/cardio/pilates. Last week, add swimming lessons between everything, and it all adds up to ...... this will be a packed summer. I'll post some pics later, we have new video of piano, baby standing and walking, etc. Oh ya, Luke is starting to walk.

Here we go

His second lesson was good. He knew what was coming, and held his breath better. Some of the other kids were screaming, and I had to keep him away from their negative attitudes, but he is doing good.
