Netta’s bravery of late

Netta, who is often shy and reserved, is also often brave and amazing. For instance, we went sailing with my brother Josh a couple days ago and she insisted on swimming back to the surfboard as the boat slowly pulled it. Other kids did this but never alone. But Netta! We smiled and admired her as she struggled to get on the board and watched as he expression morphed between fear and elation. We couldn’t get her off the thing.

And then today we just returned from a superfun one-night trip to a hotel and Banning State Park. At the hotel pool the girls, who both have undergone a swimming-confidence-growth-spurt, swam and swam. And Netta even did this, over and over and over. By herself. With no life vest. It’s big deal in her little world and was superfun for her parents to watch!

Some photos from Willow

I stole a bunch of photos off Ms. Jen’s wonderful tumblr page where she posted a bunch of beautiful Instagram photos from Bailey and Netta’s last year at Willow Preschool. Jen has been a gift to our whole family, creating an inspired place for children to explore and play and learn.
I hope these photos might serve as tiny doors to childhood memories when they come back and check this blog in 20 years.  Starting of with a couple fun videos Jen took, then a bunch of photos.

Sing-a-long

A couple months ago, after Jessica had the smart idea, we had a sing along at the house, something I hope becomes a regular thing! Here are some long overdue photos and video from the fun time. My father and his wife Cynthia, who’s amazing on the piano, were in town and helped out.
