Swimming Lessons

It is the thick of summer, and my kids are loving our summer of swimming at the Rec Center! They take swim lessons almost every day and then many days we stay for open swim. Just 2 years ago, Jack was deathly afraid of swim lessons and now he is learning to dive! The progress and courage are amazing. Maya is a fish! She can sit criss cross apple sauce under water while holding her breath, she can swim under water and she jumped off the diving board this week! I am so proud of them!

In Memory of Daphne

My sweet Daphne passed away a short time ago in her sleep. She has been such an awesome and loving and happy dog all 15 years of her life. I got her as a tiny puppy when she was 2 months old when it was just the 2 of us. Then, our family grew and she loved each of us so much. I will miss her happy panting, her loyalty, her smiles, her stealing of food from an unattended plate, her rolling around and barking every afternoon, her love of water and the sprinkler and everything else about my sweet chica. RIP my Daphne Guadalupe Aguacita Cabo San Lucas Norton Johnson. I will miss you...
