Dad's Birthday

Dreaming of Taking Gymnastics

Some of Clara's homeschool friends have been giving her tips on how to do a  better handstand. Clara would love to take gymnastics lessons sometime this winter. But for now she is just practicing all around the house. ;-)

Swim Lessons

Amber and Brent are making good progress in a "stroke clinic" this fall, where the coach fine tunes their freestyle, backstroke, and breaststrokes. They are also learning the butterfly stroke, flip turns, and diving entries. Getting ready for swim team next summer hopefully!

August - at Home and Around Town

Another way to survive the August heat...kindles! Now the kids each have a gaming and reading device.

On a family date night, we tried a new chicken sandwich restaurant. Some family votes resulted in saying, "Better than Chick-Fil-A!" Wow. High praise. :)
