Lily is taking a swimming class this week--at the base pool. This morning, another class was taking place at the same time: a unit of Marines were training for combat operations in water. The picture's a bit blurry because it comes from a friend's cell phone, but here you see a swimming instructor with a child (not mine so I blurred the face) just a few feet from one of the Marines swimming in full combat gear, rifle at the ready...
The kids were having a hard time focusing on their swimming lessons, especially the boys...
In other news, Esther swallowed a marble today--a metal one from a magnetic construction set. She had to get an X-ray just to make sure it was indeed swallowed and not inhaled. Sure enough there was a bright white circle in her stomach...
I guess if you're going to swallow something other than food, a marble's not a bad choice--it's nice and round so it's unlikely to get stuck or cause any damage as it works it's way through the digestive tract!

That photograph is truly one in a million. You could probably get some kind of award for that one. My brother swallowed a marble when he was 13. Had to use a portable potty seat every day until my mother could verify that ..... oh, never mind.. My poor mom..
That is THE coolest picture! How awesome is that?
Poor Esther, swallowing a marble. At least it's not all spiky and stuff. =D
