November news

Here's what's new with us:

New Floor, New Rug, New Couches. Now this may not seem exciting to some, but when you consider we were replacing the couches I bought by myself before we were married, it is very exciting for us. 13 yrs is too long to go between couch updates! We're open to opinions on our wild animal kingdom rug. I wanted something out of the norm. We're not planing on having a whole room of animal prints with a tarzan rope.(Although that'd be awesome!) We just wanted to add interest...we'll see.

We were able to go to Fairmont Hot Springs in Montana a couple of weeks ago. Todd was in meetings, so I took the kids swimming for a few hours. We tried to work on their aquatic skills. Tanner has no fear in his life jacket he will swim anywhere in it....without it well, that's a different story. We're working on blowing bubbles through our nose with him.

Reagan is pictured here with the nacho's she earned by swimming in the deep end un-assisted. She has never been very aggressive in the water. She refuses to be pushed into doing anything she doesn't want to do. She plugs her nose to go under and will not try it without. She is getting better and braver everytime she's in the water. She has mastered the back float, but struggles with the doggie paddle. She wears herself out every time she treds water. I think she has to work so hard to stay afloat because there is no fat on her. I wish I had that problem ;)
