Eloise's Swim Lessons

This year was our first year of swim lessons. We took them through McKinney ISD. Eloise had a total of 3 weeks of one 1 on 1 instruction. She gained confidence in the water and will now put her face in, blow bubbles, kick with a kick board, jump off the wall of the pool into someones arms and pushes off of the side with her feet to glide to someone.

We still aren't "swimming" yet!

In my dreams I had envisioned her doing freestyle laps in the pool.... keeping up with Micheal Phelps. Olympic qualifying swimming.... graceful strokes, strong kicks, swim caps, speedos, bull horns.... OK, ok, maybe not that serious.

Baby Steps, Mommy... she's making baby steps

All in all, I am satisfied with the improvements. My little gal is NOT a risk taker, so these small steps are leaps for her! We will continue to practice and before long, I know my hesitant little girl will turn into a confident fish!

Stay cool, y'all! It's hot out there!

I'm baaaaack....

After an oh-so-long hiatus, I am making my blogger return. With a whole new look!

(it was about time to get rid of the Christmas theme!)

Honestly, blogging was too hard to continue after my Dad passed away. My heart continues to mend. The truth is, he loved my blog. Loved. It. He would also tell me that when life gets messy, you can't just give up.

Therefore, before you and all of my followers

(crickets chirping...)

I solemnly swear to snap more photos, post more often, and keep on truckin' whatever path God sends me down. If not for all of you, for my dad, who wouldn't want me to stop.

Keep posted....
