We're always trying new things!

She can put her own clips in her hair! And they look beautiful! Nathan looks quite handsome too.


Last day of swimming

My little fishie. Emily grins the entire time she is in the pool. She is full of pure, unadulterated joy. It's so special!

The back float - head is nicely resting in the water. Her instructor, Jade, was so much fun. She just loved Emily and she was fantastic with all the kids.

This was the only lesson in which they got to go down the slide. I guess it was a special thing for the last day. Hmmm, when to sign her up again?

My lamp avec tea striping

So, the top and bottom of the shade are the locations of the tea colouring exercise. I'm really pleased with the result. And the simple addition of a table lamp makes the whole room so much homier. Aaaah.

C O L D.

Brrrr.

Grrr.

It's cold and I don't like it. When every inch of me is yearning for that breath of spring, arriving in the wind....to have my nostrils freeze together as a result of my inquiring sniff simply adds insult to injury!

Maybe I'll get all dressed up and burrow into the snow for a while.

On a much splashier note, Emily finished her first set of 'lessons' yesterday...she did well but will have to do salamander again...needs to work on her floats...I don't think she'll mind at all.

And I got a new lamp....I'll get a pic later....my first real, non student look lamp. Wow. God provides; I used my gift card from Christmas. I've even altered it already. It had a white shade and I pulled a tea bag around the top and bottom trim to make it a nice, well, tea colour!

Hee hee.
