Day 262: Milestone

By
Our summer days are filled with swimming, practicing, and building a house.  A new milestone last night: Estee was in her first swim meet.  This is the last of our four children to be on swim team.  She made it across the pool!  YAY!  She did a 25 back, 50 free, and 25 free.  So happy for her!
