Red Ribbon!

Lindsey earned her red ribbon at La Petite Baleene, which means she really can swim on her own, doesn't need floaties at all. She had stalled, sort of decided she didn't like swimming lessons any more, and then over spring break in Mexico she really got into swimming. After 2 lessons back her teacher could not believe her progress, and tested her for her red ribbon...she passed with flying colors. Now she is working on her white ribbon, which means a real head first dive into the pool is in the works. Maddie promises to teach Lindsey just how to do it!

Same Place One Year Later

Nothing tells you how much your kids grow up and how quickly more than a photo. Hear are Maddie and Lindsey at Esperanza last week (april 2010) and below that is last year (april 2009.) Lindsey looks like Maddie did last year, and Maddie looks like she is ready for middle school if you ask me!

Burlingame Easter Egg Hunt

It was freezing, Lindsey was cranky, and when they announced that the 3 and 4 yr olds had to go after the eggs without their parents Lindsey burst into tears....(Georgia had just gone for her turn and Tia had gone with her...)

The minute they called out for 3 and 4 year olds and Lindsey saw those eggs go flying she rallied and pulled it together--so much so that she came away a basket full of eggs. And those tears were quickly replaced with a huge smile!

So much fun!
