Level 1

William is exceptionally proud of himself.  He has finally passed on to Level 1 in swimming.  For the last 3 sessions, he hasn't been comfortable with dunking.  This time, he did awesome, and therefore has passed to Level 1.  We will sign him up next week for the Level 1 series of swimming lessons.  People say it is so hot here, that you live in the pool in the summer, or in the AC.  So, he will get plenty of opportunities to practice.

He is showing off his certificate.  And, if you notice, he got a boo-boo last night.  He got a rug burn scrape and bloody nose from taking a corner too fast while pushing his 'school bus' toy around a corner.  He fills up the bus with coins, and plays.  There's a bit of a scuff around the eye, as well.

I am busy with working out every week day, and learning Japanese... actually, I am busy trying to remember Japanese, I don't know how much I've actually learned.  The different sounds for the words can really throw me for a loop.  

I've also been lucky in getting a couple of students to teach English.  This is so awesome.  They are students of the people whose house we'll be renting once they've gone.  So, same house, same bat channel...   I'm excited as one is a dentist (we have to go off-base for dental issues here, that's why we're having appointments at home this summer, but just in case...), and he has kids ages 5, 3, and 1, and they live 2 doors down.  That will be awesome to have an introduction to kids William's age in the neighborhood.

Our house was highlighted as a place for the realtor we use.  Well, it was one of the pictures...  it is neat to see the house on a magazine cover!  Now, we want all our friends to come and see it in person!
