My Grown Up Girl

Went shoe shopping (with no luck). Beth was trying to help me pick out a pair. I love this picture in the black heels. But, I wish I would have got it on video when she walked over to me in a pair of low cut, red cowboy boots and said "What about these babies?" I love her so much.

Champion Swimmer

Beth took swimming lessons for one week this summer. I wondered how much she was learning because there was six students and the lesson was only 1/2 hour. She surprised me when we went to Grandma Taylor's pool by swimming very well. She is not afraid of the water which makes it much easier for me to send her to lessons. She took private lessons when she was 18 months old and 2 and 1/2 years old but because we don't practice during the winter she lost some of her skills. At the private lessons they always called the students "champion swimmers" and I want for Beth to feel that she is a champion swimmer.
