in posting, we've been super busy.  When are we not, right?  Swim lessons have been going wonderfully.  Trey has improved tremendously, even doing the butterfly and diving now.  Hallie has lost her fear of the water and is in level two, starting to swim on her own.  Courtnee will swim on her own with a life jacket on.  We went to the outside pool yesterday and they had a blast.  There's a pool that goes from two feeet to two and a half feet and the girls loved it.  Trey hangs out between the diving board and the slide.  Yesterday, he even swam laps-its a fifty meter pool!

We started school this week. The first day was pretty rough, but we're getting more into the swing of things.  We're only doing half days so that we can still enjoy the summer weather.  Trey has been working hard to finish under two hours and I'm very proud of him.  He's doing very well.   His reading is slowly improving and I'm glad about that.  I think this year, he will make great improvements. 

I've been working on my homeschooling bible study and reading Thirteen Moons by Charles Frasier.  Love both of them.  I finished Jane Eyre and really enjoyed it.  I'm halfway through 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Great Expectations.  They are on my list to finish next.
