Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centerted; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish,ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you could spend years building, someone could destory overnight; Build anyway. If you find Serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tommorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis. it is between you and your higher power; it is never between you and them ANYWAY.

Just think.....

You're here not by chance,
but by God's choosing.
His hand formed you
and made you
the person you are.
He compares you to no one else--
you are one of a kind.
You are lack nothing
that His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here
at this time in history
to fulfill His special purpose
for this generation.

TAKE A MOMENT TO REMEMBER HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE AND HOW LUCKY THE WORLD IS TO HAVE YOU IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dance as if no one
is watching,

Sing as if no one
were listening,

And live everyday
as if it were your LAST.

Swimming lessons # 3 with James

Well, Lanta is coming right along with her swimming abilities theses days! She is in her third swimming lesson now. If you have been following along she starting to learn how to swim this Summer and her teacher's name was Chanti who she just LOVED!! This next round when we got there was a brand new group of kids and teachers just kind of threw Lanta for a loop at first. She bounded with Chanti I think in her mind remember she was working on becoming BFF with her I think :)hehe!! But I think change is good for her......So this round she has a guy teacher James oh excuse me she calls him MR. James which is funny to me but hey at least she using her manners right?! Her new teacher has been taking them into the "deep" end and well making them practice stuff and it "freaked" her out on Friday because she couldn't touch...it actually broke my heart to see her cry at the pool...she has never been scared there ever or cried! Even on the second day when she was the FIRST to jump off the diving board so it surprised me that she got so upset so that what you see in the picture is me talking to her and then August getting upset when I sent him away because I was trying to talk to Lanta....he wants in that water SO BAD!!! Just to tell her that she's OK that MR. James is NOT going to let her drown...I really hope that Monday's lesson goes better!!! Say a prayer for her that she's not scared!!! Poor girlfriend!!

Hilary,
Looks like both our girls are going to grow gills this summer!! Lanta looks like she loves the pool just as much as Maggie!
I LOVE that shirt though that August has on! You have to let me know where you got it! I soooo need one!
I was just reading your fishing story, and Maggie just went fishing for the first time a few weeks ago and caught a pretty decent brown trout with HER barbie fishing pole!!
Thanks for always telling me how great my pics are, i love reading blogs where there are just as many pics as mine! Great job!!
