A leap of faith

Hey regular reader(s). Not sure anyone reads this. I've hit a break between summer and fall semesters and figured I'd better get this blog updated. The girls are growing like crazy.... both mentally and physically. Claire has outgrown her fear of water and is now half fish. She's learning airplane, soldier, chicken arm movements and kicks well. She's just short enough where she has to constantly bounce off of the floor of the pool in the shallow end to take a breath. Oddly, this is comforting for her and she'll cruise around bobbing her head making her way towards the wall.
Genevieve is also doing extremely well. She loves doing flashcards in an attempt to expand her vocabulary. She's definitely a girl who likes to figure out physical problems. Truly enjoying making towers, chasing the dogs, being chased, and eating. OMG this girl can eat.
Tracy and the girls visited the grandparents this summer, and the kids had a week long stay with Grandma J that was a hit. Claire keeps bringing up a reference to a "really old sidewalk" when talking about Grandma J.
We also had a little help here in TX with a visit from Grandpa Joe and Grandma D. I think all parties had a great time. We regularly get asked now if the produce we have is from Grandma D's garden, especially cucumbers.
Hopefully everyone has had a great summer. Hopefully Scott wasn't swept away by the recent typhoon. Take care everyone!
