He's swimming!

Yea, Alex!! He is finally swimming! All summer, Julia and Meri have been going faithfully twice a week to cheer Alex on as he learns to swim. Today, he finally did it, and we are all so proud!

July 4th

We spent July 4th at our friends' house, the Taylors. There was swimming, a BBQ, golf, and fireworks! We had a wonderful time--the Taylors really know how to throw a party!

Our Vacation

At the end of June, we went on a cruise to Cozumel. It was Julia & Alex's first time out of the country! When we got to Cozumel, Alex & Julia went to Tulum to see the ruins while I took Baby Alex to swim with the dolphins. We had a great time on our vacation! Julia's favorite part was seeing all the "Mexican rats" (iguanas) running around in Tulum, and Alex just enjoyed riding the glass elevators on the boat. Couldn't we have done that at home for free????
