Smiles

July 27, 2010

I am having a blast at the beach with McDaddy and his big honkin’ family. We are spending lots of time in the pool, participating in a family shuffleboard tournament (which McDaddy and I were eliminated from just minutes ago), and the beach.

All That To Say This!

July 20, 2010

Earlier in the summer, McDaddy and I talked about signing the boys up for swimming lessons. I was skeptical because at the time, both of the boys were afraid to “go under water” and neither one of them had any interest whatsoever in doing anything in the pool besides playing on the steps.
