Swimming along

Summer is just moving along at a rapid pace here. Will is recovering rather well. He is a bit shy about going out in public. We had quite a battle about going to Mass this week. I convinced Will that God took care of us all week (his surgery and my car accident) the least we owed Him was an hour of worship at Mass. Will finally agreed and I think it was good for him to get out of the house.

And even though Will thinks I don't understand, I do. He is 13 and he is embarrassed of the scar on the side of his head. This is the age where looks seem really important to kids. I have perfected a little comb over that covers the scar pretty well though. Sunday night was the picnic and awards ceremony for Will's swim team. He agreed to attend with the help of my comb over;)

Will is holding his scar as it hurts when he laughs or smiles. Apparently, Dave and I are quite funny because he keeps asking us to stop making him laugh so much!

Will's head swim coach describing Will's determination. Will was the fastest in back stroke in his age group.

I mostly only saw the back of Kate at the party. She was very busy sliding and avoiding being squirted by Will and Harry...

She LOVES the water. She is overly confident and thinks she can swim (she can a little bit but not as much as she thinks she can). She makes me very nervous!

I took the peanuts to see Toy Story 3 yesterday afternoon. It was really good. I cried. It really touches on how our kids grow up so quickly and don't need their toys (or PARENTS) anymore. With Will just becoming a teenager, it really hit home. It was a tiny bit scary for Kate in parts but overall a GREAT movie for all ages.

I apologize for not making it around to visit all the blogs. Summer leaves me little time on the computer. I try to only be on here when the kids are not around and they are always around these days!
