On Thursday I took a day off from teaching Kindermusik because Anna's preschool class had a Mother's Day Fiesta! The children greeted us at the door with homemade sombreros on, then served the parents food, followed by a sing along. It was all very sweet! towards the end, Aiden (who was in the toddler club on the other side of the school) was brought to me, and he got in on the act too!
Today Rachael and I did a Kindermusik demo and then the kids started swim lessons. This year we hired a private swim teacher to come to my mom's house. Miss Simone is teaching Anna, Aiden, Kayla (my niece) and Amy (Rachael's daughter). I think all the kids did pretty well for their first time back in the water. Here's Aiden getting comfortable with Miss Simone
Anna and I looking on with concern. :)
Here's Anna practicing some kicks.
And here she is actually having FUN!
We took it easy tonight, and were happily surprised to receive a call from Sam in Iraq. It had been about a week since we heard from him, so it was a welcome surprise, and a relief that he is okay. Tomorrow we are FREE and CLEAR and want to have a really fun family day. Not sure what we are doing yet. We'll see.. and Sunday, I have a Kindermusik b-day party to do. So of course there's still LOTS going on!
Have a GREAT weekend! Love, Holly
