Our Little Swimmers!

Kate and Annie had their last swim lesson of the Fall season tonight. They certainly have come a long way since they started lessons. They are now both "scooping and kicking" about 10 feet with their face in the water on their own! Kate can get up to about "10 bananas" with her head under water. Annie is definitely the more brave one though when it comes to jumping into the water. When they do "chop, chop, timber" Annie jumps high and far while Kate stays pretty close to their teacher. Tonight they were more interested in hugging and kissing their teacher though than they were swimming! Kate told her, "I just love you so much Jamie!". She is definitely our sensitive and caring kid. So much as a matter of fact that when Brian and I had separate cars at the MOA the other night and she had to pick which parent to go home with she ended up in tears. She said she loved us both so much and didn't want to have to pick and make one of us sad. Man, she is like me!!! That was off the topic of swimming but relevant to the comment on her sensitivity :) We are so glad we got them into swimming lessons and wish we would have done it sooner. They are going to take a break from the winter lessons and hopefully go back in spring (Foss is great but definitely puts a dent in the pocket book and with a new water heater, furnace, air conditioner, Christmas and me on maternity leave we are taking a break!). Here are a few of my fav pics we captured of them swimming.
