Little Swimmer

This summer we've started Marie in swimming lessons at the new pool. She is the youngest one in the class, and sometimes she has a little trouble not getting distracted with all the cool things at the pool. But at least she's not afraid of the water. And she does end up doing most of the things the teacher has the kids do, even though she is sometimes the last one. The main thing - she's learning a little something and having fun doing it!




I would say this looks like a mother duck and her ducklings, but the teacher is a guy. It is pretty cute about how all the kids are listening to him.



The water here is about 3 and a half feet deep. Marie is barely 3 feet herself, so she's doing a good job of hanging on. I guess she's not scared that her feet don't touch the bottom.




Taking a leap of faith.




She spotted me taking pictures!

Father's Day 2011

Marie is getting old enough to really understand things now. And Father's Day was no exception. She was so excited about it!




Here she is showing Daddy the card that she made for him.




Even though it's Daddy's present (a new electric beard trimmer), Marie had a big part in helping him open it.




HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
