A big deal

Oh My Goodness!!! All 3 of my girls are swimming under water without floats!! I am one really proud mommy!! Ryen was swimming with Mimi and she took the floats off to practice. Mimi helped her and she did it!! Then Sister took her floats off and she started swimming underwater. Then, Camille followed both girls and went under and took off towards me!

I am so happy. It is a very big deal. Ryen did not even like to get her hair wet in the bathtub! We have come a long way BABY!! Fear is not an issue. Amaris is extremely brave and can hold her breath for a long time. Ryen and Amaris are jumping off the sides and swimming to us or the edge. Camille will probably do this today as well.

I am glad that I did not put them in swim class.....they learned on their own. Next year will be perfect for swim classes.

In other news, Michael worked 17 hours on Saturday and 4 on Sunday cleaning porta potties! I am so grateful for him. I am proud that he works so hard, so I am able to stay home with our children and home school. I am grateful and blessed to have him as a husband. God is fulfilling our dreams! We met him for lunch in Lockhart. The kids love doing that and it gives him a break in the day.
This morning, Michael had to deliver 2 units this morning before work. When he came home he had a flat on the Honda. We took him to work at Aqua today! That was fun to get to spend a few minutes with him.

Ryen and I had violin practice today! We both are doing good. I am excited. I got a new violin that is in better shape and sounds better. I traded mine in and got a new one for free. Ms. Jill wanted to know what other instrument I have played before because I looked natural at it....I laughed. I told her that I do not have a musical bone in my body. She said, "Well, now you do"!
Cool for me!

Well, better get back to my fun and blessed life!

That is great that they have learned to swim. I guess since Cammie has 2 older sisters, she doesn't want to feel left out, so she just does whatever they do, no matter how little she is. Connor learned to swim when he was only 2. He kind of just did it on his own. I am glad to hear that you are liking your porta potty business. I was a little worried that you might not like it. You have got to be tired juggling everything that you do on a daily basis. I am going to come visit sometime (I am not sure when) but soon, or maybe you could come here. Love ya!
