Last month, we decided to sign Imanuel up for the swimming classes that they were having at Michigan Tech.  It was for 2 weeks – Monday through Friday from 11am-noon.  He was in the pre-school aquatics level 2 class and it’s really amazing to see how much progress he made in just 2 short weeks.  Imanuel even had to skip 2 days of class because we went on a trip!  Today was the last day of class and Imanuel was very sad to say goodbye to his teacher, Laura.  In his words, “She is so nice and pretty.”  (He uses the words “pretty” more in the context of character rather than physical beauty.)  She is a wonderful teacher.  She taught him the basics of swimming as well as the confidence to be in the water.

Tio Juan and cousin Jacob came all the way from California to spend this past week with us.  Post soon to come.
