My 4-Year-Old Won a Wet T-Shirt Contest

Really. Oh, but it isn't what you might think. She has been taking swimming lessons this summer, and her class had a relay race involving swimming in a t-shirt. Grace's team won. Included in this post are some pictures of her class. She is coming along "swimmingly" and is doing far better than I expected. I think that she has a bit of a crush on her coach because she goes beet red everytime he says her name, "Miss Grace".

Hawaiian Night at the Pool

Last week we went to Hawaiian Night at the pool on base. It isn't anything exciting.....they just dress the place up a bit and are open later. The kids can also use rafts, which they aren't normally allowed to do. Anyway, I got some good shots so I thought that I would post them. Grace has been getting brave in the pool, and as you can see she has started swimming. I have her in swimming lessons four days a week now. It only took Sophia a few minutes to fall asleep in the "Moses Basket" (yes, she is sucking her thumb--it is her new favorite thing). Joseph would not get in the pool. I was only able to start getting him in this past weekend. By the way, it was freezing cold! Hope you enjoy:)
