Swim Lessons and Taylor playdates!

We have had a busy summer in July and August. LOTS of traveling and now swim lessons! And it has been hot hot hot!We are now working on 100 + degrees for over 24 days straight and they don't think it is going to end anytime soon! And we have broken numerous records for the hottest days - aren't we proud! Ha!The subdivision pool is like bathwater - not very refreshing! We have been venturing out to Dick Nichols and Deep Eddy for some cooler water.

Since getting back from Durango we have had some play dates with Taylor, who is Harris's favorite person! He is loving that we spent the Frio with her and then Durango and now play dates at home! Nonnie came in town to take care of Taylor while Christine and DJ work, so we kept Harris out of daycare to spend time with Nonnie and "Tae Tae". And Tae Tae has come over a couple of Fridays to stay with us also. Funny thing Taylor said when Harris would not nap and was very fussy "Will you take him upstairs and rock him! I can't stand the fussing!" You and me both Taylor!

Harris loves the water hose - its a great entertainment when your bored and these is not much to do in the HEAT! I think we change about 4 outfits a day and finally we just go naked when your always covered in sand or water!

Harris's teacher Lisa - she was great!

Harris did so good at swim lessons. He became much more daring after the second day! He loves to throw himself in the water in the baby pool - doesn't care that he goes under, water in his nose or eyes! Most kids his age hate to under the water. We are having to be right on top of him to pull him up when he goes under. He is all boy! And he loves to jump off the side. He says "jeet" or sometimes it sounds like jump. He is much more daring than all the other kids in the lesson. He has learned to kick and stroke his arms. He really can dog paddle good - but not really stay afloat if we let go. He almost can pull himself out of the water onto the ledge. Very impressive for being so little.

We are so ready for some cooler weather! Wish for 98 degrees, something other than 106 - Ha!
