June.... sigh.

June was a crazy month... it went a little like this, swimming lessons for Allie; VBS; swimming lessons for Mary Elliott. then pause, michael jackson died and apparently the world stopped. we did end June on a good relaxing note, vacation with the Montgomery side of the family. pictures of this will soon follow.... for now, here is Allie's swimming lessons pics. i could type for an hour on how this might have been the most stressful week of my life as a parent and how i didn't know that my sweet calm 4 yr old had the fits that came out this week in her; but i'll save you the details. thank you thank you and thank you to ms hayley; allie now swims like a fish!

note the look on allies face... i think she's thinking "how quickly could i knock sarah foster out of the way and ditch this place? i know my turn is coming..."

previous to this picture we had what i would call a 4 yr. old anxiety attack in the warrens bathroom. but, we are on the diving board finally...

can you tell she's nervous?

but she did it!

she was quite concerned that lizzie wouldn't be there to pull her up from what she thought was a 40 foot jump.

mary elliott and i cheered her on!!

and she survived!

i'm sure she's thinking something like "what can i get out of my parents for putting me through this week of water torture?"

but i'm happy to announce that allie now swims wonderfully and that ms. hayley is one of her favorite people! we are honored to call hayley one of our dear friends as well :)
