A Very First Swimming Lesson

by | Aug 6, 2008 | Baby News, Swimming | 15 comments

Snuggles had his very first swimming lesson on Monday. He LOVED it!

First he got use to being in the water…

Then he said hello to his big brothers.

He had a blast splashing.

It was so cute! He usually HATES being in water.

He worked on using his arms.

And then he learned about floating on his back.

He did great…

…and was just as snuggly as ever!

    How precious! He looks like he is having so much fun. I love the look on his face while he is gazing back at his teacher, so cute.

    Ok, first of all, I USED to be the Top commentor, so sorry I am not anymore….I try, summer came though and well…I slacked!

    I love those great pictures you got, how precious!!! You captured perfectly, I just want to snuggle with him and give him a big kiss!! He’s just so cute!! Glad he liked the water! It must be nice and warm! Sorry mom has to be in for so long though, that is hard, especially at this time of the month.

    You guys are all too funny! I love all your comments.

    So, the deal with the “top commenter” widgit, is that it takes the last 500 comments, subtracts my own, and then ranks them. So, the top commenter’s rotate quite frequently. The last time I had it in the side bar Jamie had 60+ and outnumbered everyone else by quite a lot!! 🙂

    The water IS warm, Jamie!! Very warm!! There was a 12 year old girl that helped me out today, and my aunt did yesterday. I just had to sit on the side of the pool and lift the babies in and out. It was nice. I should be able to be back in the water tomorrow. 😉

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
