Day of Changes

I know that it has been a long time since I've updated my blog for various reasons, so I thought that I would go ahead and skip to present time instead of letting the gap grow larger. ☺ I plan on going back and filling in the holes eventually.

Today was a day of change for us. Mara started third grade, Jack moved up to the Pre-K1 class, and I went to work in our brand new building for the first time today. It was a lot of change all at once, but it seemed to go well (despite how Jack looks in his first picture).

Scuba Experience

Aunt Diannie gave Mara a scuba experience for her birthday back in March, and she finally got to do it today. They started off the class with a video outlining the basic instructions for scuba diving. Mara wasn't too sure about the No. 1 rule, which was to not hold your breath. It took her a little bit when they got in the water, but she eventually felt comfortable enough to go under, and then she realize that she could still breathe with her tank! She was down at the 8-foot depth for the rest of the time and didn't want to get out of the water. She wants to do it again and is really looking forward to when she is 10 and can get her scuba certification.
