Milestones and oppressive heat

We have a swimmer!!!  This afternoon Roman took his first strokes unassisted!!!  We are so proud of him.  He was working very hard earlier this summer trying to learn now to swim like his big sister.  I guess I'll be renewing my community center membership come September so we can keep up the progress.

Today was the hottest day since we arrived in Nijmegen - 95 degrees.  Living on the fourth floor and having no air...it was a little brutal in here today.  We opted to beat the heat by going to Golfbad, the local indoor pool in Oss that we visited on our first week here.  Tonight, the pool was less crowded and wild than it was when we went in June.  Much more manageable and my sanity stayed in tact!   The kids had a great time going down the slides and playing in the waves.  Hopefully they sleep well tonight.
