Diving Daughter

I just had to add one more pool photo. It's so cute! Here's Air-Liliana jumping off the diving board 30 seconds after we arrived at the pool.
















Look, Ma! No flotation device. My toddler learned how to swim on her own before age three! She loves the water, and I'm oh-so-happy about it. Like mother, like daughter!

I just hope she chooses to pursue swimming instead of diving. I speak from experience--life is risky enough without pounding and contorting your body into a deteriorating lump of aches and pains. Swimming or soccer...that's my vote.

Blessings all around,
Ramona

Little Swimmers

Wade, Liliana and I spent the weekend with my family in Indiana. Liliana had an opportunity to spend time with her Grammy Joy, Uncle Russ and cousins Luke and Clayton. No matter how often we visit family, it never seems like enough. The children are growing and changing so quickly that if you miss a few months, you've missed major milestones.

The big highlight for Liliana was swimming in Robert and Chamaine's pool. For the very first time, she swam by herself with a little help from arm floaties. She and Luke loved swimming and jumping off the diving board so much that they literally had to be dragged from the pool.

We plan to spend many hours at the pool this summer. Hopefully Liliana will be swimming solo by September. Here's to sunshine...and lots of it!

Diving Diva

Last night we spent quality time with friends, and two of us braved the frigid water. Wild and crazy Liliana went off the diving board for her first time. Look out, world, she may follow in her mama's footsteps!
