Congratulations Chesley, for completing your swimming class!
Chesley’s skills got better through the last two weeks as he began to feel more and more comfortable putting his head under water. The class was 30 minutes each day for 9 days and he’s already looking forward to taking another one next summer.
For a long time I couldn’t catch Kaden’s smile on camera and his fake one looked painful. As you can see, he is getting more photogenic.
I may be biased being his mother, but I think my he has a beautiful smile!
Chesley has been enjoying spending time with family, swimming, biking, taking pictures, reading books from the library, and much more. His favorite part of the summer so far is the time he spent with his Aunt Delorah (10 years old) and Uncle Derrick (15 years old). For about 6 weeks they were just a few buildings away, almost always available to play. What great times they spent together!
In March we posted about a story Chesley entered in a writing contest, “Lightning Man’s Protective Armor“.
Well… he won 2nd place!
Chesley picked up his prize last week; a green bag filled with a book, magazine, video, and notebook. He was also mentioned in the local paper. We are all so proud of him!
Congratulations Chesley!
Kaden and Chesley have been taking advantage of the warmer weather by riding their bikes and exploring around our new home.
What can I say… Boys + Outdoors = Lots of Fun!
For the second year in a row, Chesley has entered a story in a writing contest. Lightning Man’s Protective Armor is about a boy who dreams of being a hero and goes by the name… “Lightning Man”. This story is inspired by Chesley’s own life. The illustrations were the result of a great deal of time and hard work.
Special thanks goes out to Grandma Haynes who gave Chesley the markers that were used in the illustrations.
