My heart is overflowing...


with love for my family. Is there any greater blessing than family? I'm in awe watching my girls grow. Bryn is now 10 months and determined to do everything big sister does. Yesterday was Brook's last day at gymnastics and the mommies got to watch all they had learned, it's eye opening to see all that a child can retain. The teacher gave instruction and this group of 3-5 year olds did just what they were told. Of course Bryn was not to be left out and escaped onto the mats several times but I suppose she's just trying to get an early start. In addition to gymnastics Brook had swimming lessons yesterday and again my heart swelled with pride as this little girl, who just two weeks earlier refused to get her face wet, went fully underwater for a few seconds and came back up with a grin the size of the Grand Canyon! This moment was made all the better because Daddy surprised us by getting off work early to come and watch. Such a good Daddy! And you guessed it, Bryn would not stay out of the water as usual. We have a little fish on our hands. Luckily there is a baby pool and so Bryn and I have been hanging out there while Brook has her lessons.Today is Brook's last day of swimming and she's decided she's taking us out to McDonalds to celebrate, I love how her little brain works :)

Well I just wanted to share my joy with everyone, I hope you all have a blessed weekend!
