Yesterday we completed our 2-week swim lessons for this year. This was our 3rd year...at the same pool...AND with many of the SAME teachers. At this point, they think they own the pool!
After lessons, we celebrated by going over to the Kaufman's house for an all-night swimming party! According to Kiahna...it was the best day EVER.

We recently attended porcelain-bowl funerals for Moses and Todd. Sad. So sad. Tears were shed...and shed. Sad indeed. The tanks sat empty and alone. Then...we had a great idea. Why don't we get another fish? With renewed hope that life could now go on, the kids made the familiar trip to Petsmart.
Niah decided that she would let Kiahna use her tank so that Kiahna could have a fish of her own. Apparently, having your own fish is a Harris-Family-Right-of-Passage tradition. So, Kiahna returned with Gill...
...and Aliya returned with Aslan.
So for now, we have bubbles blowing in the tanks again, and smiles on the faces of the girls. Live fish! LIVE!!!

This past week the kids and I participated in Vacation Bible School. The theme revolved around a trip to Mars, or "NASA" as the kids call it. Isaiah was a few feet shorter and a few years younger than the rest of the kids in the class, but he made up for it in effort and ability!
Niah and I worked as volunteers. Niah did a great job! She was such a big help, and the kids really liked the gentle attention she gave.
The kids loved it, and are ready to do it again next year. I think I might need a year to recover, and get motivated to do it again!
The best part was the last day. The finale was at the Kingfisher INDOOR pool/water park. Of course THAT was a hit! The trip to Mars was fun, but the trip to the pool was the best!
