Summer

I know summer is technically a few more days away, but let's face it -- it's been summer here for months already!

The dogs love their yard.

I love these cool girls!

Andrew and Addison camped in the backyard...for almost 3 hours : )

 We had s'mores to kick off the adventure!

 Coolest marble jar reward EVER.

The girls are back in swim lessons. This summer we decided not to do the Y and to switch back to the British Swim School (Addi started there in Chi). Having smaller class sizes and an indoor pool is so much better! They focus on survival skills before swimming. You have to learn to jump in the pool, turn and float on your back, then swim to the wall before moving up to the next level.

Here is a video:

 Glad their classes coordinate!

Slip 'n Slide time...

or should I say Run 'n Fall time... (video)

Last weekend, Addison had her first ballet recital!

Here is a video:

All her grandparents were able to join us! 
It was a very special day for Addison Jane.





Her teacher, Ms. Nicole, whom she adores.



Afterward we had a fun family dinner AND the fence guys finished!!!

Here is a video of the first time the dogs had the freedom of a backyard:
