That is so great! Lessons here are hard to find, unless you go to the YMCA (which none are local)... even still it's 1 day a week, not 4. I bet that helped a lot to have such consistency for them!
As it happened, my 2 youngest had 5 days of swim lessons for the week they were at 4H camp, so even my non-swimmer can float a little now, and doggy paddle some - but even bigger is that he WILLING goes underwater now!
I know for this mama, it's a huge load off my mind - so I hope it is for you too!

Awww... but she looks so sweet in them! Poor girl - hopefully she knows you are only doing what is best for her

I am so sorry you are experiencing this :( for what it's worth, it took years to become pregnant with my 2nd (they have a 4 1/2 yr age difference), and it turned out to be from my thyroid. No one ever told me and i wish i had known sooner :-/
I tossed back and forth with how large I believed my family should be. In my heart I wanted a large family, but logically I said i should have only 1 girl and 1 boy, so as to not add to overpopulation, taxing natural resources, etc. When I was pregnant with my last child, who will be 9 yrs old in a mere 19 days. Because of how sick I would be with each pregnancy, we elected to have a tubal ligation, since I was already having a c-section. I knew he would be my last, and it took a long time for my heart to get over that hurt.
I'll say an extra little prayer for you

So lovely! She really has grown up even more it seems lately! Congratulations to K on her first Holy communion!

I love the pictures of K riding - I'm trying to find a new facility for my Liz to ride at.
I hope that Bethany will acclimate well to her new surroundings once she's a bi more recovered.
Hope L feels better soon! that tummy bug is rough. (went though my family on my birthday this month)

You always make your girls such lovely items!
The dress is just darling - my own horse loving 11 yr old would love the inverse of those colors :) sadly - she's outgrown such youthful pattern sizes :(
I hope your little one slows down a bit for you!
