Swim Lessons

This year we put swim lessons first thing in the summer.  Mikaela feels pretty confident in the water as long as she's got her goggles.  She's not strong yet, but willing to go under and try, so that's something.  Nicholas didn't want to get in for most of the first week, but did better after the first few days.  He doesn't want to be on his back still, nor put his head under, but we're making progress.  And now for pictures.

Dance the Night Away

Mikaela joined A Body in Motion studio in Downtown Carrollton back in October.  She started taking tap and ballet classes.  Sunday, June 12th was her recital.  As someone who has never done the dance scene, it was completely overwhelming, but Mikaela had fun and did a great job on stage.

My dear friend, Courtney, came over to help apply Mikaela's eye make-up because unfortunately for Mikaela, her momma isn't all that savvy when it comes to those types of things.

It's almost dance time!
