Now that it is November and I am missing our warm weather, I suppose it is about time I post about the last few neglected months. As seen above, the girls enjoyed lots outdoor activities, like running through sprinklers in the backyard. Seattle summers are gorgeous because the temperature is perfect - 70's & 80's, the scenery is lush and green, and most importantly, we Seattlites don't take the sun for granted so everyone you come across is happy. This summer was particularly dry - only one hour of rain in three months.
Gabby & Claire took swimming lessons at a friend's house over the summer. They have improved, but let's just say they are not exactly naturals in the water. I realize that after swimming competitively for 15 years myself, my offspring should not have such a deep fear of water, but maybe one day when they put more than their chins in the water without screaming, their innate passion for the sport will suddenly emerge....
Gabby also enjoyed her first ballet & tap class over the summer. Luckily, dancing does not involve holding her breath, so she loves it. Claire had to watch with her younger buddies on the sidelines until she turned two and could join her own class.

Oh how you're making me miss the Seattle summers - and all the swim meets! I enjoyed keeping the ribbons organized for your team. Ah, the memories, which will soon be yours faster than you realize! ;)
How sweet is that one of her at ballet sitting 'criss-cross-applesauce'?! Love.
