Swim Lessons 2017 Edition

We had two kids in swim lessons this year...K in level 5 and 
C in preschool! Kiera is thrilled to have made it to level 6 
which is the last level. She mentioned wanting to be a lifeguard
when she is older. C went from hanging on the teacher on day 
one to being one of the liveliest kids in his class.


Posing for some pics before lessons...




This guy had no fear! 
Goggles!

Diving boards

Even the high dive!!

On the last Friday of the two week lessons, each swimmer
gets a report of their skills and a sucker and "Friday Fun Day" 
where the kids can go on the slides and boards! Here are 
both kiddos getting their certificates and thanking their teachers.
We always thank our teachers with their favorite candy bar...
Kiera's gotten good at sneaking that question into conversation.

Jumping in to Vacation Fun!

We went back to Land's End, our beloved condos in South
Carolina,  after a 6 year hiatus. Things didn't change too
much, with the exception of a concrete boardwalk where
there was once wood. We went with our Land's End besties,
The Mormile Fam.  Kiera was over the moon to have little
Brooklyn to play with all week. Years ago (back before digital
cameras and iPhones were a thing!) we snapped an iconic 
pic of the girls jumping into the pool....

Christina, Em & Nicole

 Here's Kiera recreating it..

"Life Lately" Flashback to Summer Edition!

I'm a little behind in documenting some of our summer fun...


 Kiera thought she was super cool riding the scooter and bike 
on the street at Gia's birthday party. As you can see, they live on a 
quiet, one way street. 



Just about everyday when Dave comes home from
work, he's excitedly greeted by his girls!

 We planted a large garden at the farm but due to the crazy rains in 
June and the lack of rain in July and August, our garden only produced
tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash. We have been eating A LOT
of the said veggies. Here's Kiera spiraling a zucchini to use as spaghetti.
As you can see, she takes her job seriously...What a determined look!




 Selfie at the pool!
 On my very first day of summer vacation, I was lightly rear-ended. 
It did minor damage, but since the car was brand new, we got it fixed. 
Kiera went with me to get the rental car, and when the lady asked
if a mid-sized sedan would be okay, Kiera piped up and asked if we
could have a van. The lady granted Kiera's wish, she was so happy. 
And if a van wasn't enough to make this girl grin, we stopped at 
Dunkin' Donuts for a treat!
I was on the interview team this summer and Kiera tagged along
one day for an interview. We stopped in my classroom and Kiera
wrote this sweet message for the kids...
 Sherwin Williams is Dave's third home (after our house and the farm!)
and he considers the employees there to be his "fr-amily."  A year ago
this summer, one of member of the SW gang, Kelly, was in a tragic car accident.
To honor  Kelly on her one year anniversary, her family organized a balloon launch.
  


 We went sea glass hunting with B and L at our favorite beach.
The water was extremely rough that day and there was hardly any 
beach, but we managed to have a good time.
