If you're a faithful follower of Frodo Seven, you know that we are a family of swimmers--which fits well with living in Texas because we can swim outside most of the year. Swimming at Camp Kreitzer is special though because here, we make our own rules. Of course we follow obvious ones like no diving in the shallow end and no running on the pool deck but we don't have a problem tossing babies in the air or jumping off the diving board two at a time. We also don't make the kids pass a swim test to swim in the deep end. We are religious about guard duty though and always have a designated adult watching the pool.
All of the girls have had a great time swimming since we've been here and it's fun to see little G swimming all over the pool and doing laps with her sisters. We've seen the biggest change in Sophie though. She has gotten very brave--so brave that she's scaring her mama who has decided that we will be having mandatory swim lessons until she learns to breathe! I hope you enjoy watching her in action.
Thumbs up for Mama

Nine Years today. It's a bit of a cliché to say that I can't believe how far we've come but it's true. Happy Anniversary to my bollazo!
Madeleine, Chris and I went on a Daddy-Mommy-Daughter date to see the new Harry Potter movie the day after it opened. We were all looking forward to it but unfortunately left disappointed (Madeleine liked it better than Chris or I did). I suppose our interpretation of the book was different from the screenwriter's and it left us saying, "but what about..." which is the problem with seeing movies based on well-loved books. I am actually content to be dissatisfied with what I saw because it tells me that my imagination is still in good working order.
