Two ducks on the pond

Greetings!

Summer is so fun!  Jonas and Elsa are having a ton of fun playing on their bikes in our back yard.  They can do endless laps--at least until they start crashing into each other!  It is great to see them thrive and be so active.  We always remember how AMAZING they are doing and we are so very thankful.

This week Dan took Elsa and Jonas to story time at the library.  He headed up to sing a song for all the kids and Jonas bear hugged his leg and wouldn't let go.  Jonas really really really wanted to be a part of the show!  They had a blast and it was fun to see Jonas want to be involved!

Elsa is really excited to sing a song at the front of the church in a couple of weeks with Dan and another singer.  She practices all the time and is really excited to be in the front of the church!

Swimming lessons concluded this week and Jonas and Elsa learned so much!  Check out the videos above.  Notice how Elsa convinced the teacher that she has to sit on the edge of the pool and not in it.  She had been in the pool most of the time the previous day with a different teacher but she saw an opportunity to charm the new teacher.  Both kids really began to trust the teachers by the second week and amazed us by their hard work!

God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
