Yesterday, we spent the day with our friends, the Hoellwarths, down in Maricopa. It was a fun, albeit loud, day. Swimming and BBQing and Wii time. But, it was yesterday that Jeremiah finally let go of his fear and swam independently! He's known how to swim for awhile now, but was afraid to let go of his life preserver, so to speak. (Arm floaties, more accurately.) I am not a huge advocate of paying someone to teach my child to swim. I already know how to swim, my husband already knows how to swim. We figured we could teach our children how to swim. And its working. And I have proof! Yesterday Jeremiah swam the length of the Hoellwarth's pool and back! It was awesome!
Alayna is already well on her way. My guess is she will be independent by the end of this summer; you know, in October...

Proud of my swimmer boy! I thought he'd have it down before 7 years old, but whatever.
Great Job Jeremiah,
We Love You
