Our little fish... or frog????
Annabel has like the water since she was born. She would instantly become relaxed and at times kick her feet. But never before has she used her hand and feet at the same time. When we evacuated this weekend and visiting my brother, Tara decided to take her for a swim. She was so animated and was kicking all over the pool.
ohmygosh! I LOVE IT!!!!! SO STINKIN CUTE MISS ANNABEL! What joy you just brought to my heart! I am going to have to get a video camera and start recording, don't have a clue how to do this yet! I will be calling for tips Tara!!! :0)
Glad you all are o.k.!!! Kids started school today and Abbs starts on Monday! We went to open house and meet all her teachers, they were great!
I enjoyed watching Annabel swim, but what really touched my heart was how Tara and the girls were so excited. The pride and love in Tara's face and the voices cheering her on are priceless! What a family, God has truly blessed Annabel and and the whole Shelander family with unconditional love. What a great gift!!!!
Wow, Watching this was the highlight of my day. Such an amazing girl, and just as amazing a family. Tara sounded so proud. I am always amazed at what an amazing family you have. You have been blessed by God.
