Catching Up With The Curtis Family: Swimming & Birthdays

We have a had week consumed with birthdays with a couple of them being milestone birthdays! Allison tuned 18 on Feb. 27; my dad turned 60 on March 2; and Dane turned 20 on March 4! Unfortunately, we have not had a chance to celebrate all the occasions due to scheduling conflicts between everyone! We are hoping to get that done this evening or early this week. It is nice when the children are older and don't feel the need to "have to" celebrate on their actual day (like the 8 year old in our home). Pictures will be posted when we get that celebrating in.
Currently, our weekends are busy attending show choir competitions around the state with Allison. Yesterday, we were in Shelbyville, Indiana, where DeKalb's Classic Connection won grand champion! (It's not quite like winning a state championship in basketball! LOL) However, they are 2010 state champions, so we are anxiously awaiting to see if they make the state finals this year. (Can you hear the enthusiasum in my voice?) Actually, their show is captivating and fun to watch, but when you are their from 10 AM until 1 in the morning...it just wears on you.
McKenna is in week two of swim lessons and seemed to enjoy the water much more this week. This week she told me, "The water is tolerable!" Below are a few pictures from her lessons. Have a happy week!

Jumping in...watch out!!!
