Anything you can do I can do better! 🎶

Canton’s New Years Resolution was to learn to swim. 52 days ago we went to the pool for the first time. He entered the water with arm floaties and stayed mostly in the shallow end.

Today, he swam his first meet!

We are so proud of him! Most of the kids on the team his age have been swimming for three years or more but he had enough growth and improvement to be able to swim in a meet! He likes to tell everyone he encounters “I went from swimming like a rock to swimming a 25!”

He has another meet next week. He hopes to beat his time from this one!
**Update: Monday he swam 42 Sec, three seconds faster!

Various pictures from this summer so far…Mike took Canton to work, swimming pictures, cute sisters, etc…

Liberty had a princess filled day!

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!

Christy and the kids surprised me today with a wonderful Fathers Day mug, a cool fit VA Tech shirt, and of course some hand-made kid crafts!  Being a Dad is the greatest job I could possibly ask for!  I love you guys!

Canton has been putting his sewing machine to work. He has made an oarfish, sunfish, stone fish, sperm whale, sea anemone, eel, sea star, and puffer fish.

We enjoyed a beautiful day cooking out and swimming.  Liberty wanted pictures of the food she helped make 🙂

The girls had a great time with Rhonda while she was up for Canton’s birthday.  Adleigh took a bit to warm up, but was letting Rhonda hold her soon enough.  Liberty enjoyed having Rhonda all to herself! She can’t wait for Rhonda to come back in a few weeks! 🙂

Adleigh continues to grow and amaze us! She’s so stinking cute and funny, we just love her!

She is running, jumping, and laughing all over the place!  She can jump like a master and loves running around to keep up with her big brother and sister.

Adleigh is doing a great job feeding herself, wanting to brush her teeth, and dressing part of herself. She loves taking care of her baby dolls and her favorite thing to do is dance with Sophia.

We got a little people princess castle that she and liberty will play with together.  Liberty is Ariel and Adleigh us Belle, luckily they get along pretty well for the most part. Adleigh has had A lot of practice saying “please”.

She has pretty much all of her teeth, minus the canines and her hair continues to be crazy 🙂

She still loves green beans, spaghetti, and yogurt. She’s added a few words but mostly still just yells, that’s life with three I guess 🙂 🙂

She makes a laugh every day and we can’t imagine our lives without her!
