My boys busy weekend!

Sorry for not posting yesterday. Saturdays have always been a busy day in our family. The pictures above are of Jackson swimming, and his brother Jeremy at Karate. :o) Jackson has been going to swimming lessons for kids with special needs for awhile now, and has been doing quite well with getting used to the water, learning how to float and so on. Well today he learned how to kick which opened a whole new world for Jackson. Instead of just moving his arms and moving very slowly in the water Jackson was kicking....and away he went. Jackson swam the whole length of the pool!!

He has always worn his life jacket and used a pool noodle, but if this keeps up he will be giving up the pool noodle very very soon, and maybe before long, the life jacket too!! I am so very proud of him!!

Jackson's brother Jeremy also had his grading at karate on Saturday to see if he could make his purple belt. This was a more difficult grading for Jeremy this time as he was doing it with a broken finger and an awkward splint on his hand.

But that didn't stop him!! And he came out victorious with his purple belt!! I am so very proud of my boys this weekend!!!
