Swim Lessons

This summer we went back to Hosford Swim school for the 3rd summer. Mason really progressed this time around. He is using big kicks and big arms every time so his coach was able to start working on breathing. He jumps from the side, swims around, and comes back to the wall. He's able to float on his back, then roll over and swim. He also picks up his head to take a breath mid stroke, when his coach taps him on the head! His dive is still a work in progress, but everything else he is doing great!

Summer Camp

The kids' school hosts camp during the summer. They still have learning activities, but they also have a little more play time too.

Dillon's class gets to go on the tot playground now. He really likes being outside and rolling around.
 

Day trip to the Jacksonville Zoo

Jacksonville has the best Zoo! We like to go for the day to see the animals, let Mason play in the water park, and ride the train and carousel.

Bon Appetit!

Dillon is eating solid foods now. He loves bananas, oranges, spaghetti, toast, eggs, peas, chicken, black beans, sweet potatoes and watermelon.

Brothers

It is absolutely amazing to watch these two play and laugh together. In the mornings, they smile and hug, and are so excited to see each other! I love watching them.
