Happy Birthday Janessa!

Janessa turned 7 on the 16th! I can't believe how fast the time is going. It was an emotional day for us as we were reminded once again how fleeting this time with our kids really is.

We started the day out swimming with friends

Lunch!

Today...What beautiful Little Women!
















We ended the day with swimming at the swim meet.  It was a full, happy, celebration day!
Although the time flies steadily by, we appreciate the reminders you give us to stop and be present in the wonderful moments that make this life worth living. Happy Birthday Janessa Princessa! We love you!

First Swim Meet

The girls had their first swim meet this Thursday. They ended up having fun, even though Janessa was a bit nervous at first.  Hannah was her usual excited self, ready for anything. They did great and we enjoyed cheering them on in between dips on the pool to cool off!

On your Mark...
...Get Set...

...GO!
Well Done!
Hannah was in three events...Breath Stroke
Back Stroke
And finally, 
Butterfly

This is her favorite stroke because "You have to move your legs like a Dolphin!"

Way to go Hannah! We were tired just watching you!

The girls did such a great job. It was a warm two hours but what a great way to spend the evening! Good job girls, we are so proud of you!
