Swimming with Twins

Logistically with twins it is just tough; if you have other children it just makes it a little tougher. I think that is one of the trickiest things with two babies is the transportation and just getting here and there. Once they start walking you breath this huge sigh of relief because you realize you just have to take a hand not a whole body. In any case we have made it to the walking stage and what a joy the year has been, but what a challenge as well.
One of the most challenging is taking the kids to the pool. I'm up for the challenge because i love water and want to expose Nolan and Taryn to the water, but it's a little tricky. There is always a mother or two at the pool that offer to help and i have learned this past year to say, "yes" to anyone who seems to genuinely care.
In any case, this is one way i travel around the kiddie pool with Nolan and Taryn. Nolan is a bit nervous in the water and feels most comfortable touching me so i put him on my back and he is just so good with being there. Taryn on the other hand is little miss busy in the pool so i travel around the kiddie pool on my tummy making sure Taryn is enjoying herself and not drowning. Dylan is just SO busy swimming so i keep one eye on him as well, but he's good in the water. It's really tricking getting in and out and you just have to be a little firmer because there are two, but it's definitely doable and o'so much fun.


BTW: Taryn so didn't need another swimsuit but i found this one at gapkids for $2.99 yes you got it right, $2.99, can you believe it... I couldn't pass it up for $3

Since we are going through Proverbs as a family my latest favorite is and this is the NIV Adventure Bible.

"My son, hold on to good sense and the understanding of what is right. Don't let them out of your sight. They will be life for you. They will be like a gracious necklace around your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety. You will not trip and fall, When you lie down you won't be afraid When you lie down you will sleep soundly."

Proverbs 3: 21-24
