Little Fish…Sea of Love

My children live in a constant state of being pruned. Whether it’s the pool, sprinkler, shower, or bathtub --- their fingers and toes are most often found looking like this :

Summer wouldn’t be complete without swimming lessons for some good stroke development.

This year, the kids were so bashful when they met their teachers.

Karah got a “boy” named Cullen.

Not this Cullen…

This one. Eerily similar. Perhaps cousins.

I love this picture. I can SEE her internal dialogue. “Do it right…don’t mess up…he’s watching….must…im…press!”

Cullen inflated her ego by telling her she is SO not a level 3. She is almost a level 5.

He took her to the deep end to work on diving.

He was so gentle. (like a vampire would be). See?

On the other end of the pool…someone was falling in love with a teenager named, Courtney.

This little guy is a beautiful swimmer. Courtney agreed.

When lessons ended – they were begging to take another week. Hmm…curious.

  1. Oh, I love it! They are great little fishies! I have to say I really enjoyed your vampire references. When I saw that his name was Cullen, I thought...as in vampire??? Then I died laughing when I saw the picture! hahahaha! Still laughing.

  2. I love every one of your little "prunes". How adorable to catch it all in photos and bring it to life with your words which make the heart merry! Great post!
