Gabrie went "swimming" for the first time a few days ago - these videos show just how much fun she had.

At first she's just so excited to be outside...



but as you can see she's not too keen on the idea of swimming.



Of course it just took some getting used to and before long she was splashing like a pro.



... she's also a bit clumsy when she gets overly excited...



We hope everyone else is having an equally exciting summer!

We are one of THOSE people!

Sorry to anyone that actually checks our blog! It drives me crazy when someone does like three posts in one week then goes forever before doing another, which we did and it only bugs me cause I'm nosey! But things have been a little hectic and there isn't much to talk about. Anyway, I suppose I'll post some pictures because they're always fun and they sum up what we have been up to lately.

Well Gabrie got her first trip to Lagoon. She liked watching people and the train ride but that was about it. But Luke did win her a prize, a snake!

Luke is done with teaching for the year so he has been enjoying time as a stay at home dad as I finish up the school year and finish my grad program (even though I already walked in graduation). Last week I had to go finish my last two classes - I had class all day long every day. We stayed with Luke's brother Corbin and his wife Stef for a fews days and Gabrie had a lot of fun playing with Ashlyn!


Here is a picture of most of the people in my program. Jen, Richard, Lee, Kristin, and Laura we missed you. We went to dinner to celebrate being done, good job all of us! We never have to sit through 8 hours of class again! What a relief!


After spending all of this time with Luke, Gabrie is becoming quite the "Daddy's girl"


Our next (and probably only) adventure this summer is to buy a house! If anybody knows of any really really good first time home buyer programs or has any tips (seriously... like the money kind... for a down payment...) let us know.
