Swimming

Kira and Rora both took swimming lessons the last 4 days that we were in Alabama.  Wow!  I couldn't believe how far they both came in such a short time.  When they started Rora wouldn't get into the pool.  By the end she was blowing bubbles and completely comfortable.  Kira was comfortable, if a bit hesitant in the water when she started and by the end she was dog paddling short distances.  It was great. 
Now that we have a community pool we have been going swimming 3 days a week.  Last week was our first week so the girls have gone swimming here a total of 4 days.  Kira is now swimming under water a solid 10-15 feet at a time.  She has become so relaxed that she can float on her back. It's been amazing watching how quickly she grows and how her confidence is soaring.  Rora is also doing great.  She did a little to well in her swimming lessons and now wants to swim like Kira without using floaties.  ACK!  Ella has also been swimming.  She is so relaxed in the water.  Completely content to just be held.  It doesn't even matter if it's me holding her or not. 
I am so happy that as the temperature climbs we are able to get away from the house and still keep cool.  Oh, and I love how Rora takes a great nap after!

*I really need to take pictures at the pool but haven't dared even try since it's just been me and 3 kids.  It seems a little daunting to try and take pictures on top of that.  Hopefully Josh will get to go with us sometime this week so I can focus more on capturing the memories and less on making sure everyone stays alive :)
