FOR SALE!

Whew! This has been OnE CrAzY week. We listed our house exactly one week ago, Thursday, July 29th. After 5 days and 6 showings we received our 1st offer. WOW! We are still in the negotating process so we will see how everything unravels. We have been busy looking for a new house but haven't found anything we like yet.

I have mixed emotions about all of this. This home has been great for us and holds lots of great memories so of course it is a little sad but it is also exciting to think about the future and finding a new home.

I will keep you all posted on how things progress!

Morgan's swim lessons

Morgan's 1st SUCCESSFUL season of swim lessons has come and gone! She took from Ms. Tracy & Ms. Regina for two weeks and she had so much fun! She is already asking to go back. She was pretty shy but still super sweet each day...No tears at all! I was very proud of her because while I was watching her every turn I was also chasing Graham around and she did great without me sitting right beside her. I was shocked how fast she picked up swimming. She always wore floaties before lessons and now wants NOTHING to do with them. It helps to have a pool to practice swimming in every day because that is exactly what we have been doing.

I was one proud mommy taking pictures every day. :)
First day...They looked so cute sitting on the side...

Scoping it all out...

Not sure why I ever he thought he would sit still during lessons...He was on the go!

Day 2...Practicing her backstroke...

Giving me a big grin after I gave her a big thumbs up...

Borrowing Morgie's sunglasses...

Day 3

Tracy working with Morgan trying to get her to swim with big arms...she perfers underwater arms...

Trying to get Tracy to hold her hand while she jumped in! She can do it...she was just holding back!

Another day...another swimsuit :)

Swimming through the hula hoop

I believe he learned a few things from watching.

Cute girls...

Trying to stay cool in this 100+ degree heat...

It was a fun session and a great experience. We will be back next year!
But until then we will keep working with our little fish!

Ready, Set, Jump

We moved our slide by the pool yesterday and it was a big hit! Morgan loved sliding in and swimming to the steps.

Graham taking a turn! He was even going under and not minding it one bit!

We are so proud of our big 3 year old and all that she is learning to do! She is the best!

18 months

Graham is already 18 months old. Where does time go?!? He is one happy, easy-going BOY. He has become very independent and wants to do everything by himself. He does great feeding himself with a spoon but he has been a little picky the last week or so. Hopefully it is just a little stage that will pass soon?!? He is starting to talk more and more. He loves to try to repeat words that we say. Some of the things he says are mama, dada, ball, dog, juice, more, Mo for Morgan, duck, shoes, tee tee and there are probably some others. He can point to some of his body parts. He does has occasional meltdowns usually caused by he and Morgan wanting the same toy. The tantrums don't last long...just a couple high pitched squeals! He loves to try to do everything that Morgan does. He does great playing in playgroups, at the gym and at Sunday School and even does well (most times) when we drop him off. He understands so much of what we say and follows directions very well. He is just perfect!

Our cutie patootie about to head out for his 18 month doctor's appointment today!

He weighed 24 lbs. putting him in the 25th percentile for weight. He measured 33" tall which is the 75th percentile and his head is 19 1/2" which falls in the 75th-90th percentile. He has grown into a tall, thin toddler. Here are a few recent pictures.
Love that little face!

Our little lifeguard...

Playing with the water gun...

He still LOVES balls and playing basketball

He has started swimming around in Morgan's floaties and he is doing great. He is our little fish that loves to kick around and blow bubbles. We need to get him his own floaties so he doesn't have to wear the pink ones. :)

Morgan is on week two of swim lessons and is becoming quite the little swimmer. I will blog about swim lessons soon but here is a picture of her swimming to Daddy. We are SO proud of her!!!

Such a doll!

Our 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 year olds. Love Love Love Them!!!
