five things

{1}
We finished up swimming lessons this week.

Lauren did great and we've noticed she is very comfortable in the water {and under the water}.
The focus of the class was more on water safety than skill, but we feel like it was a great introduction and look forward to see what next summer brings.

I also loved that it was an activity that Lauren and her daddy did together.

No big girl room updates.
Why?
The bed.
Still.
I'm one frustrated pregnant mama who just wants her daybed.
But until then we continue to talk about Lauren's big girl room and she continues to be excited.
Meanwhile, she's still in her crib.

While I'm excited about finishing her room and getting to see her enjoy it,
the idea of not picking her up out of a crib makes me a little sad too.

With swimming lessons finished up, a new season of gymnastics beginning, and school starting right around the corner, I can't help but think that summer is officially over.
But, we live in Texas.
Where the summer shall live on for several weeks.
So our backyard fun, with water tea parties and homemade popsicles isn't over quite yet.

Last weekend we crossed an item of our Summer Bucket List and made our way to the beach. We went nice and early, played in the water, made some sandcastles, and even had a picnic lunch.

Lauren likes the beach.

With all this backyard running, swimming pool hopping, sand castle making, and popsicle eating, many, many of our summer nights have ended up just like this...
