We spent most of the summer just hanging out and swimming, and it went too fast. But it was so hot that this year I can honestly say I am glad to feel fall in the air. Tonight it is supposed to get down into the 40s, and it's going to feel so good in the morning.
Just to mention a couple of highlights from July, Katie Mei progressed well with her swimming. She decided she wasn't going to wear arm floaties anymore, so she put those aside and braved the waters on her own. She now enjoys being thrown and flipped and comes up smiling.
She also decided it was time to jump off the diving board. As long as we're standing by, we let her jump and swim to the side. She's doing great and has learned how to come up for a breath before continuing. She's not treading water yet, so we don't let her hang out in the deep end, but at least there is a little more confidence that if she falls in she can get to the side.
Jacob had his first sleep over with Mindy's son, Blake, in July as well. The boys had a great time, and even managed to get to sleep before 11 pm, although they had to have a few reminders to keep the noise level down.
July also brought us the exciting news that our newest daughter, Sarah Irene, is able to stand. She does not appear to be able to do so without support, but we were very excited to get some new pictures of her. Can't wait to bring both her and Joshua home!
