Nanny,Poppy and Swim Lessons!

We got to have Eriik's parents in for a week (Poppy got to stay for 2 weeks because of a work schedule change) this month and it was great having them! They were with us the entire time the kids had their swim lessons, so it was nice to get to take just one kid to their lesson. Nanny came with us some of the days too. The kids loved having their Nanny and Poppy to play with! I described more in the captions below.

Poppy helped us redo our master bathroom...he helped strip the walpaper and stain the molding that framed in our mirrors.

This might not seem like much to you, but it took awhile for her to feel comfortable standing in the shallow end without holding on to the edge because she is such a short little thing and the water came almost to her mouth when she was on her tippy toes!

Ava and Audrey "swimming to Dallas" as Mrs. Phylis said.

Alec loved his swim lessons, and did great!

This pic was taken on one of the earlier days before she was comfortable standing without at least touching something.

All smiles!

Poppy taught Alec how to play chess....they did alot of this during their visit! Alec loves to wear his spider man costume around the house :)
