A star is born

O.k, so most of you know that both of the girls have been TERRIFIED of swimming without their floaties. We have been finishing up swim lessons this week, and I guess something finally clicked with Ella. Yesterday she asked Mrs. Amber if she could jump off the diving board. What? Yes, you read that correctly. She was loving it! I think she actually did it about 5-6 times and was sad when the lesson was over. As for Gray, she's still not so sure about the whole "head under water" thing. I can say she comes by it naturally since I hear from my mom that I wasn't real into the swimming thing when I was little either. Sorry Gray! Here are some snapshots of the little fish in all of her glory:)

Allyn IV baby dedication

We had Allyn IV's baby dedication this Sunday. It really is a special time as a parent to commit to raise your child in a Godly home. What an awesome responsibility and privelage. Thanks to all of our family for coming to share this meaningful day with us!!
