Thanks Granny and Grampy and more swimming...

Granny and Grampy sent our first package to Spain! Here are some pictures of the girls in their new Tiana bathing suits and the new outfit. (Ignore their hair - we've been swimming every day of the week!)

AND...

The girls just finished their 2nd session of swim class. They both continued to make nice progress.

Here is Rayna practicing her swimming (with some help). And my fearless girl getting ready to go down that HUGE slide (with her swim instructor - he kept her from going UNDER water since she's still working on holding her breath underwater for long periods of time (more than 5 seconds))!

and Reese...has become QUITE a swimmer...

As a final, her class jumped off the diving board into 11 feet of water...

and although Reese jumped from the side of the pool into the deep end...she was NOT a fan of jumping off the diving board alone. So, after some negotiations with her private coach (ahem, Daddy)...


...She jumped!!!

Here are the girls getting their certificates -

Rayna getting her gift bag and report card from her teacher Jesus (no jokes, please). :-) and then in her safety jacket for after class recreational swimming...

Reese passed Level 1 and is 1/2 way through her Level 2 quals to pass to Level 3 per the American Red Cross check list for safety swimming. Rayna is making good progess on Level 1.

Way to go R&R!
