Summer 2012

It has a been a busy summer so far -- we have been spending a lot of time in the pool, so our swimming skills are improving.  Isobel is swimming on her stomach, on her back, and diving for rings -- and just passed her 'I can save myself if I fall in the pool fully dressed test'!! We are so proud! Sonya is still a little daredevil so we have to really watch her underwater -- she will just go under to look around and not come up for air! Yikes! She is able to swim about a foot without help.  Mr Max is doing so well! He has just started swimming about a foot on his own also.  It is amazing to watch the progress.  

The kids are also improving in their verbal skills, so their conversations between each other get better and better. I love listening to them coommunicate.  Lets look at some photos of our summer fun:

 I have discovered instagram!! I love the effect of the filters on the photos.  
Here is on one of Izzie at the zoo.  

 Max at the dinosaur museum looking for bones.

 A super cute photo of Soni.

Playing with Soni's hair :)

 We had a fun visit with the Grandparents.  
Here is everyone working together to make lunch.

 Isobel has been participating the her schools summer program.  
This week was animal week, and a local vet came and talked about 
her profession.  Izzie wore this outfit all day!

 This is reptile day during animal week.  I was thinking a frog, maybe
a gecko.......
