What's going on with us?

I know I sound like a broken record, but we have just been busy. Thank goodness swim lessons are over, so that will help free up our days. My MIL was visiting for the past week and I was busy getting tons of stuff done while she was here. Did lots of baking and freezing - pancakes, waffles, breakfast pockets, zucchini bread, etc. My freezer is full of baked goods! Yummy! And so much easier to do when you have someone to watch your child! So here's a brief update on what we've been up to:

Swim Lessons - those are finished, yeah! Keira did great and actually progressed to the next level in her second set of classes. She can float on her back all on her own, swim a short distance underwater, put her whole head under and retrieve a ring from the bottom, pull herself out of the pool on her own, and jump in and swim a short distance to the instructor. She did really good and is sorry they are over!

Dance is still on-going. She seems to love it as she comes home and does alot of her dance moves. She really loves the tap shoes mostly! But I think all kids do.

Gymnastics are still going on as well. She enjoys these lessons to and I can really see improvement in what she can do week to week. She is still my clumsy child, but she is getting better!

We headed to the zoo this weekend because the weather has been out of this world. Keira had a blast as we haven't been in quite some time. Here are some pics!









I got my hair chopped. About 5 inches taken off. It is so much better - especially during the summer! And as an added bonus, I'll save money on shampoo now!
Wade is out of town for the next few days, so I am single parenting until thursday - ugh! Here is hoping I have a well behaved daughter during that time who likes to take lots of naps!
The garden is doing awesome. Lots of jalapenos, cucumbers and green peppers. The tomatoes are turning red, but that too seems to be a slow process. So no tomatoes ready yet, but soon! I also have about 5 baby cantaloupes - I am thinking that this baby may be here before the cataloupes are ripe!
Baby is doing well - Dr. appointments have all been fine. She kicks a great deal which helps with my nerves. We have a birthdate now - October 27th! Surgery at 7:30 AM, we have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM. Fun! But I guess I would rather have it that way then wait around all day!
I think that about covers it. Hope everyone is doing well!

Way to go on the swimming! I'm so impressed as Anna wants nothing to do with putting her head under water.

I am really impressed by Keira's swimming skills. I was hoping this would be the summer I could teach Dylan to swim on his own, but with a newborn I'm realizing I need to sign him up for lessons again.
