None of the less, we have already enjoyed the beginning of summer fun! The girls just finished thier first round of swim lessons and they both learned a lot. The first four days lulu had her death grip and would freak out if I changed her position and her teacher wouldn't dare to touch her becaue she would cry! By the end of our two week lessons, Lulu was comfortable and loving the water. In fact she gets a little too brave and wants to break free from my arms. Hannah brushed up on some of her skills from last year and learned to dive!!!! She is such a fearless child that it enables her to do so much at her age. Her instructor was shocked when he found out she was only 5 yrs and was happy that she had so much determination to try anything.
This month we celebrated 9 years of being married. For once, I wanted to celebrate low key. Every year I wanted to go away for the weekend and eat at a fancy restaurant with a good steak and dessert in mind! This time, I just wanted to go eat a local restaurant that just opened and to check out this paint your own pottery shop. Gabe on the other hand planned to stay at a bed and breakfast in this cute little German town about 25 miles away. I mentioned that I wanted to stay away from downtown Austin and maybe check out this new pottery place that opened up. He laughed and asked if I wanted to do the pottery thing because it's the traditional gift for nine years. I had no clue nine years was pottery- I just wanted to do something different. Can't believe in nine years or the 11 years that I have known him I never knew my husband has an artistic side to him! He can sketch anything from looking at a picture. I sure can't do that so I was surprised! We had a good time painting our pieces, which makes for a memerable anniversary!
Working on our masterpieces =)
