Our little fish!

Kayle had her first swimming lessons a few day ago... they are every Saturday morning for a month. These photos are from her 2nd lesson... she was a little nervous to start with and clung to me like a monkey!

We played some games to relax the babies... she really enjoyed lying on the big floating mat! She didn't want to get off!

She was relaxed enough to jump off the edge!

We played a few more games... she had to swim on her front to collect as many floating balls as she could... she did a great job and really enjoyed swimming on her front!

Swimming on her back was a completely different story... she didn't relax at all and was swinging her arms around all over... she managed to hit me in the face a few times!

Her favorite part of the lesson was at the end when she got to run down the mat and jump off the end... she was so brave and jumped really far!
We are excited that she likes being in the water!

En-ger-land... En-ger-land... la, la, la.... la, la, la...

Living in America when there is a World Cup is very different from living in England... there are alot of people here who don't even know that the World Cup is taking place, which, as you can imagine, to an English person, is just a bit crazy!
But we are certainly 'representing' at our house!!
When England played USA on Saturday we were all set to go... we put our big TV in the front garden with an 'Easy up' tent because of the sun. There was about 10 of us all screaming and cheering... well, actually, Jason and I were the only ones screaming and cheering!
We had a really fun time with everyone... just would've been MUCH better if we had won!!
Can't wait for the rest of the games!
Come on England! Come on England!
