Swimming Proof

I would have never guessed that the kids would have made as much progress as they did swimming this summer. I am so glad I bought the bubbles and the "marshmallow sticks". They were well worth their money.

What a wonderful summer pass-time!

Titus is very seriously helping Dad.

Isabele won't be left out.

Sept 2011 Titus and Isabele Kayaking (in the rain)

Titus is 4 1/2 and Isabele is almost 3. Titus had been out a couple times on his own in front of my parents. He's pretty capable of getting his kayak where he wants it to go. This was Isabele's first time all on her own. She had been out once before with me holding onto the rope at the front. Both had been out several times sitting on my lap or Brian's lap, so they aren't totally inexperienced...

Isabele and Titus September 2011

Basement torn up but with stud walls in

Wall down the center beam of the house - the closer side is the utility and walk-way. The far side is our new bedroom.

Utility area.

Hall/Utility area.

Corner under the steps - closet that was there we torn out.

The drywall is one side of our new closet!

The closet from outside of it - nice and big, with a window!!

Isabele Pants

The latest pair of pants I made for Isabele. And Titus is being the big brother. Cute pattern, rather easy - still loving the book they came from Sewing Clothes Kids Love.
