Our Empty Nest/Bye Bye Angie and Fishes School

Mikayla and Coach Angie

In one of the makeshift boats that teaches them balance

Just splashing around as you can see she is all smiles even with the water all in her face.

Our baby Robins nest is now empty....and the baby bunny I mentioned did not make it. We do though have a baby bunny we believe just released from mommy a day or two ago that seems to have made his home in our yard for a time. Mikayla has not been able to see him except maybe once with Daddy. I only hope the neighbor cat does not find him or that my boys leave him alone. Since the Robin nest arrived the boys have been better at not chasing the birds I can only hope the same will happen with the bunny. I would love to keep our yard a safe play area for all Gods creatures.

Yesterday was a Super Swim day for Mikayla. Being a Holiday weekend and all she was lucky enough to have her fav coach and the whole pool all to herself. I put some great pics and video here for you to enjoy. They had a blast and I know Mikayla got her work out because she ate so much more than usual yesterday I could not believe it...and if you know Mikayla if I said she ate more than usual you know that is a lot. Today she gets to swim again with CC, I believe, for a makeup class we can only hope she gets the same luxury she had yesterday with Angie. CC is another of her buds. I think she has taken a liking to both Angie and CC not just cause they are awesome but also because she can sign with both of them. So to her they understand her more than most...and she can relate or vise-versa. I have decided not to take pics of swimming today as it is a make up class but I will probably regret that. Now that both gymnastics and swimming is over and we have the next week free we hope to have more fun at home with the sandbox and our own pool we will see if the weather lets us do so.

Until the next update I hope everyone enjoys thier 3 day weekend and has a wonderful summer. Blessings, AJ



She had to get the pearl in the oyster and close it

Just playing making bubbles together

Jumping off the side and touching bottom

The last segment of swimming across the 15' pool a segment at a time with all the swimming she did that day I was thinking she was starting to look like she was wore out yet of course she did not want out of the pool when class ended.

She had to get the dive toy at the bottom of the pool.
