embrace the camera

This week has been packed with about as much fun as we can handle.

Kirkley continues her 10 nights of swim lessons, which gives us some rare one-on-one time with Jay.

There has been lots of walking, chasing, bubble mowing, ramp running, stair sliding, rock throwing, etc. going on!

Jay was even more excited to get to do all of that with daddy tonight!

Meanwhile, Kirkley continues to make progress at swim lessons.  Slow progress but progress nonetheless.

It's required huge amounts of perseverance and loss of privileges.

It's amazing what a life without your Strawberry Shortcake doll and favorite elephant will drive you to do.

Release the death grip on your swim teacher is one thing!

Going under for "blobs" is another.

She's so proud of her bobs!  :)

Our Seeds of Courage CD came in on the second day of swim lessons.

#12 "Do not fear" is officially known as the swim lessons song!

If you don't have any of these CD's, we so recommend!

I catch myself listening when the kids aren't in the car!!!

There are even awesome printables that go with the songs.

"Do not fear, for I am with you;
   be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
   I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10
