Summer Activities


Summer is in full swing here in Rockwall. So we have taken up morning swimming. We hit the pool for at least an hour every day. We get some good exercise, a little sun (yes Andrea is tanning - a little) and some fun. Rachel gets braver and braver in the water. At first she would not let go of our necks, then she warmed up to being safely inside a flotation device for little kids, we are now in water wings which she thinks is so cool. She is kicking her legs and floating on her tummy, she just needs to learn to move her arms in sync. She also has begun the summer semester at the Little Gym, she was very excited on her 1st day and clearly remembered screaming on the high bar from last time. She tried the high bar again with a fearful face. It will take time to get used to it. We will be doing some Preschool learning with some curriculum I bought to keep her mind sharp. So we have her in physical activity and brain activity. As for spiritual activity - of course church on Sundays but she is beginning a prayer life as well. She prays at meals and I quote... "Thank you Father, Amen." Very cute. And we need to get consistent with bedtime prayer as well, but since she wants to list everyone she knows for God to bless, it takes time.
