swimmingly...

is that a word? oh well. we are doing swimming lessons right now and, not as i expected, avery hates them! crazy girl. she loves to swim, loves baths, loves to be in the pool and she has screamed for each lesson we have had. almost the entire time. the only respite has been the hokey pokey song and a diving ring, but only for a minute or two. her grandpa is coming to video ethan and her today, for posterity, and i think all he may see is avery clinging to me and crying...sad day. ethan loves his lessons. he is doing really well from what i can see, peeking around avery's head while she buries her face in my shoulder and refuses to "kick kick kick" her feet.


avery loves to help, she says, "i want to help" about 40 times a day and we try to let her help as much as possible. this picture is when she was "helping" daddy study his stuff for the BAR exam. pretty sweet. she subsequently colored on part of that page with the pink highlighter when daddy wasn't looking...very helpful;)we have a large bag of starbursts from our houseboat trip and i pulled some out the other day to have a couple and they were ALL orange! what does that mean? good karma? i like to think so:)

i really want to go to IKEA today or tomorrow...i just like to go there and look around. maybe we'll make it today...

Benson says he is not getting back in that pool. His teacher dunked him yesterday. I don't know what to do with the kid. That is a very cute picture of Kendall and Avery. Whoohoo Studying!

Jen, do you have ADD? I love your posts and how they sometimes jump, jump, jump around and I never know what's coming at me next. Way to write a compelling post.
