Swim class

Sophie has been taking swim lessons for awhile now at the YMCA. She loves the water but gets nervous when she doesn't have a floatie of some kind. She keeps at it though and I know eventually she will get it. Right now they are working on floating, it is so hard for her not to kick her legs! She loves it though. Here are some pics from her class this summer.

Opening the gifts.



A few weeks ago we celebrated Avery's first birthday. It was a great day which we were so thankful for and everyone seemed to have fun. We had a bounce house for the big kids (thanks to the Comer family) and lots of help from mom and dad Hatch helping us get the yard ready the day before. Thanks to all who came to wish Avery a happy birthday. We hope you all had fun!

First Day of Kindergarten

Sophie was very excited to start kindergarten today! She walked to school with her new backpack on and was first in line to go inside. When we picked her up I asked her what they did. She responded, "work, work, work, We couldn't even rest on the cushions." Later on she did say they did a craft, had a snack, and played. She said her teacher was nice too. We'll see what tomorrow brings!
