Swim lessons

We have been talking about swim lessons for a long time. I even took them to the pool last week to watch the swimmers and get a feel for it before signing them up. Corley thought it was a great idea; Caden not so much. So I signed Corley up and we have been so excited about today. She woke up this morning and told me that she didn't want to take swim lessons, of course. I told her that she WOULD be taking swim lessons and she said ok. After she got home from school we started our preparations. BAD MOTHER moment - NO swimsuit that fits:( Luckily we have two that someone passed to us. They are 2 sizes too big but had to work. Of course there will not be any swimsuits at the stores now. Swim lessons - great idea, mom!

Excited to get in that pool!

Ms. Ashton talks about water safety before "jumping" in

Getting a feel for the water. Corley was ready to jump off the ledge at this point.

Splashing with her new friend. Glad there was another little girl. She is a few weeks younger than Corley and no swim diaper needed. Corley wasn't bothered by that:(

Doctor visit

Brooks has been battling ear infections the same way Caden did as an infant. Needless to say...we are at the doctors office LOTS these days between the three kids. They are so good, though. Such great helpers!

Corley reading Brown Bear to Brooks and Caden. Keeping everyone busy!

I love the way the boys have their hands in this picture. Shows the sweet relationship that has already developed.

Fire Truck Fun

Each Fall the fire truck visits Trinity Preschool. This year Corley invited Brooks and I to join her. It was a lot of fun and Brooks LOVED it - probably more than Corley.

Cousins!

Caden and Corley are so blessed to have cousins that are the same age and gender. This makes it fun for Leah and I also. We hosted our first switch this past weekend. Leah got the girls and I got the boys...guess who got the better deal? I'll let you ponder that:) We began our morning at our church pumpkin patch - celebrating the 10th year of this mission project

Next we ventured to the Greenville Airport for lunch at Runway Cafe (a favorite spot for the Olsommer's)

After a short nap in the car, the boys spend the afternoon playing at the house before we made the switch back. It was so much fun. Look forward to our next switcharoo.
