Three Swimming Things

P8013383
It has been so hot here lately, that all three Things have been enjoying the pool. P8013400
The big news is that Sophia is swimming on her own. Of course it was big sis that got her to finally let go of the side of the pool! ;) P8013384
Sophia was so proud of herself, all she kept saying was "I can't wait for Daddy to get home....he is going to be so pwod of me!" She truly is a Daddy's girl. P8013412
These two can just go off and be in their own little world. They have their own conversation's and tell secrets all the time. If you ask me.....these two are trouble. Last weekend Thing 1 got to have a sleep over in Thing Teens room. She thought it was awesome...except she was a HUGE grouch the next day because she was up waaaay too late! P8013391
Thing 2 continues to amaze us in the pool. He goes under, experiments with floating, tries to keep his balance in all sorts of ways.....Thing 2 is something! P8013393
Just a little sisterly Thing love....or maybe working on causing some trouble.....Thing 1's smile gives away that something sneaky might be going on! Thing Teen hides behind those glasses! P8013397
And finally, my happy little Thing 1. She is so proud....all she wants to do now is swim, swim, swim! We love you baby girl....we are "pwod" too! ;)
And last but not least.....
Happy 16 LID-versary to us! ;)

Your bathing beauties are so cute. You can just see how proud Sophia is of her swimming accomplishments. Happy Anniversary, friend.

OK...so there is still hope for our Francesca to start swimming on her own (she does the death-grip around your neck when even in the pool)...The photos are so beautiful and how wonderful is it that all three are in the pool together and having a great time!

Happy 16th LID!!!

OH MY #6 said...

16/12 for you and 19/12 for us! Happy day to us both.

The pictures of these three are wonderful. All three are beautiful children that look healthy and full of summer happiness! My hat is off to photographer who seems to be able to capture that!

Happy 16th !!!!!!!
What are you thinking about the shared list?
The pool looks great - It's been over 100 degrees here everyday for a couple of weeks with no sign of relief. It's just too hot to get in the pools here. "Just keep swimming" for us...

Love the picture with the thumbs up.Yep she is proud of herself.
I think she does better in the water then I do.
And whales should swim well,LOLOLOLOL
Talked to Becky yesterday in church.She told me you are not going to be able to make it this way.Just one more reason for me to feel sorry for myself.I do understand.An update on teen thing would be nice.
So Guess I will just keep sending smooches via the blogging world.
Do me a favor tho, and do one of you fun and naughty blogs, I so am in need of some good laughs.
Dedicate it to me, it will make me feel important.
Smoches and hugs,
Mr.Brian

Michelle R Photography said...

First of all, Happy 16th LIDaversary!!! All of your Things look adorable playing in the water. Mia doesn't like anyone touching her when she has her swim vest on so she can "do on her own", so I can relate.

When I saw the pictures of Emmie and Sophia, I thought of you and Ingrid. What a big deal for Sophia to get to camp out in big sis' room!!

Gracie said...
