A Talent Show and A Little Swimming


Emily was in the school talent show last Tuesday, she did a great job.



Nana and Papa Childs treated us to some Ben & Jerry's...Emily had to strike a pose.

Emily and Jacob at swim lessons.


For many years I'm sure our neighbors have heard a lot of screams coming from our house. I have always wondered what they thought.......

A. Jamie is beating the children.

B. Mike is beating the children.

C. The kids are getting their hair washed.

I hope you all picked C. These two children have finally stopped screaming when they take a shower. They didn't scream because they had soap or water in their eyes....they screamed because of the fear of getting water in their eyes. (Yes, we did use a wash cloth to sheild their eyes, they just screamed anyways.) This made it impossible for them to take swim lessons. We tried several times with Emily (with goggles) but she just couldn't handle it. Emily finally decided it was time to learn to swim and Jacob still didn't think it was a good idea. During the first class he got out of the pool 6 times with a pouty lip and tears in his eyes saying he just couldn't do it. He finally has decided it is not to bad. The last lesson he finally stayed in the whole time.
I think it may have been a small miracle.
