She did it!!!

Swimming lessons went fantastic this year. Cameron actually learned how to swim. Last summer was a cry-fest, but something magical happened in just a few short weeks. I think the water fairy came and sprinkled her with brave dust because the girl is swimming (full fledged, face-in-the-water swimming).

Cameron & Hannah BFFs

It's time for the girls annual picture to commemorate how they've grown and changed since they first became friends in the summer of 2005. They were each only about 8 months old when they met but they've been great friends ever since. This year the girls will be starting kindergarten together at Chisholm Ridge Elementary. Oh, how quickly the time has passed. I can only imagine what this picture will look like in 2024 when the girls are graduating from high school.

Feeling Crafty

Cameron and I decided to be a little crafty today. We took an empty paint can from Home Depot and used Mod Podge to adhere scrapbook paper. We decorated it with craft flowers and letter stickers for a personal touch. It is for her Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Sandoval who happens to be a dear friend of mine. She's wild about animal print so we hope she will love it. We are planning to fill it with chocolate and other treats to help her survive the long 7 hour days with a room full of 5 year olds. I'd need mine full of booze if I was going to make it as a kindergarten teacher. By the way, it was super easy. We started it and finished it in a matter of about an hour. I bought an extra paint can so I may be making another soon!!!
