Top Notch Houston Swim Club Lessons

I am so pleased with the lessons the boys have been taking from Houston Swim Club! The lessons we've taken in the past at the YMCA didn't compare. The focus on the back float survival technique is top priority for me, and the instructors are just phenomenal!

Jaden's Just Hilarious

Smooshed Pierce & Hava

Positive!!! Number Five!

We are thrilled!

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Psalms 139:13-16

A Beautiful Day to Play Outside

Elijah's excited about painting his "hammer" - a piece of wood we found while camping a week ago.

Bluebonnet Fields

We enjoyed passing the lovely bluebonnet fields on our drive to Austin.
