Tiny Oranges – Fresh, fun blog for OC moms

We just finished with one of those 10-day-in-a-row swim lesson programs with Swim 2 Dan.  It was Emma’s first time in swim lessons and this picture was from the first day.  The whole time she had this VERY concerned look on her face. Almost like, excuse my language, but “what the he-double hockey sticks” is going on and WHY is my mom making me do this?   There were also some tears.  But by Day 10 she was crying for another reason.  She told me that she would miss swim lessons too much!   I will do another post on Swim 2 Dan soon. Stay posted! In the meantime, My Favorite Everything did a fabulous post on him HERE.  For more Wordless Wednesday pics, swim over to Angry Julie Monday.

Kathryn over at Simply Sweet Photography had a hard time picking one winner, so she picked two!

Elissa who said, “This is such an amazing give-away….memories for a lifetime! My family is my husband and I and our 4 month old son. My husband is an army veteran, he served for six years in military. We don’t have any pictures of the 3 of us and I would especially love some of him and his pride and joy (our son)!”

Bridget who said, “Something unique…….hmmm, my husband is a golf professional and my 3 boys, 6, 4 and 16 months are obsessed……..I better take up golf!”
