Swimming Lessons!

The First Lesson: Fearless!

Skarlet's great Grandma Lyden had a fantastic idea this year and bought Skarlet and her cousin a round of swimming lessons at a great fitness center in the area. While I wasn't able to be there to actually see first hand, I am told that she's pretty fearless in the water and dove into lessons unreservedly.  I can't wait to actually see her in action in the water this summer. I bet she'll love it on a whole new level. Here are a few pictures from her first go. Enjoy!

Miss Skarlet's 3rd Christmas

Miss Skarlet's 3rd Christmas


I was home for Christmas this year for the first time in a long time and it was fantastic! I got to spend time with this hilarious kid and see all her new antics and listen to her tell stories and sing Frozen songs to me as she danced around in her princess dress proclaiming that she was "Elsa, a beautiful princess!"  Please see photo evidence below.
