I mentioned last week that Carter has been taking swimming lessons.  He has been enrolled in Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) lessons with Megan Zoller.  This is his 5th week of lessons and he’s doing swimmingly (sorry, bad pun).   I am so impressed!  Megan is an amazing instructor, and well, I’m a little proud of her student too!  😉   Carter took lessons with her when he was 10 months old and learned to float.  Now that he’s walking and it’s swim season here, he’s learning to swim/float/swim.  This means he swims for a little ways, rolls over in a float to rest, then flips back over to continue swimming.  Lather, rinse, repeat until he gets himself to the side of the pool.  Here’s a glimps of a recent lesson!!

As many of you know, my mom is on round 2 of chemo at Moffitt Cancer Center.  Despite her despise of all things chemo, she’s putting on a good attitude and her battlegear to kick cancer in the hiney.  She has been such a support to me as I start this journey in photography.  She’s been my “go to” babysitter for my sessions.  Even chemo can’t keep a Grandma from her grandchild!  She’s starting her 4th treatment (of probably 12) and is having some nasty side effects.  But, she’ll beat it, I know she will!

If you have an extra moment today and could say a little prayer for her, we’d appreciate it!

This next one isn’t quite in focus, but I love it anyway.  Sometimes things are emotionally in focus and not technically 😉
