Mia's swim lessons

Mia is a crazy woman in the water! She had swim lessons in July and just did so great! She would try anything her instructor told her to do, and more. She showed absolutely no fear, which is a big change from a couple of years ago.
All of our kids have been pretty fearless in the water, but I think Mia may beat them all. She practiced jumping in, diving, kicking and she's a pro at floating.
On the last day, the kids got to go down the slide and swing on the rope. What fun for all of them. Mia, way to go!

Growing up

The time has finally come ... Michael shaved his mustache! I think it looks pretty darn good. He's surprised at how quickly it grows back.
The boys are at scout camp this week. The girls went to see their cousins for a couple of days. Mom and Dad had a date night! What fun! We went to a movie, got something eat and wandered around Bridgeport, without worrying about "getting home on time."
