Needlepoint

"Mom! It's stuck again! It won't pull through!"
"Emma, you need to go up and down. Don't wrap it around!"

Great Grands bought needlepoint kits for the girls in Sun Valley. Silje picked it up right away. Emma is great at it too, but she needs a little guidance. In the car, on the way home, I was handed this many times to fix:

Silje and Emma decided to use a crayon to color our piano green! This is them cleaning it off:

Sun Valley: Swimming

Liam never actually made it to the water. Tommy did, but he didn't last as long as the girls!






We went to the pool everyday we were there, I think! Silje learned to back float and butterfly! She also put her face down in the water when swimming and gliding. Emma and Tommy liked to just play on the steps. I tried to teach them how to back float too, but how do you teach a rock to float?
