relaxing a bit!

We have been slowing down a bit here. :) That is so nice. Swim lessons have finished, and J moved up a level. :) He is swimming short distances now and need to work on endurance. We are very thrilled with that, because M doesn't want to take him out in his boat without him knowing how to swim--even though he would ALWAYS be wearing a life jacket. So we are almost there. dd-A is a fish and really catches on quickly. She still has a bit to work on with her stroke, but she too is swimming short distances. they also both can jump in off the diving board and and swim all the way to the side of the pool on their own. They are very proud of themselves, and I am feeling relieved to be able to take them to the pool and not fear for them as much.

We are going to sign then up for private swim lessons. They have taken 4 private lessons already and we think that is what finally pushed J over his swimming slump.

We are doing dance for the girls, which starts soon. And then soccer for A and football for J, which practices started last week. M is coaching the football team, so that is nice for me to have him taking J and everything.

I made a day trip to visit Misty and my Dad. It was fun to see them, although it was very quick.

I have started designing a bit again. The summer sort of zapped my free time, so I basically took the summer off. LOL!! It has been nice to be creative again. there is nothing new in my store yet, I am a guest designer next month at a different site (still hush hush--it hasn't been announce yet--so I can't say which site yet, but I will in a week.) And I am trying to get some things finished to put in the SA store. :) Hopefully soon.

anyway, I am sleepy and still need to get some things done. TTFN!
