Summer Swimming!


Sadie has just learned to jump in the pool by herself! After taking a few swimming lessons and seeing other kids jump into the pool, she decided it was her time.

We have moved gyms rejoining the Sports Barn as they have an outside pool within walking distance of our house. Come join us at the pool.

Sadie Walks: Revisited



Sadie Walks 4.31.08 from Chris Swafford on Vimeo.

Not wanting to be left out, Sadie had been asking about her first steps. The clip above is from Sadie's first full time walking. She took a few steps in the weeks proceeding the clip but after a camping trip with Caven. Sadie decided she would walk and has continued sense.

Chattanooga Sunday with Kids


Walking past the Bluff View Art District we could not help but pick up some fresh bread. Come join us on your next visit and we will help you sample all their great offerings.


The first Sunday of each month you can visit the Hunter Art Museum of American Art for free! Best of all they have arts and crafts for the kids to make. Sadie has starting looking forward to making art with Daddy.


Checking the place out. We walked around looking at all the colorful pictures and Sadie asked about everything. She wants to know, and it is exciting!


Moving on...


Jacks favorite, bathing at the aquarium! He managed to splash lots and not fall into the water. This time.

We went out to do a little fishing at Hidden Hills Farm but got rained out after catching a couple fish. Cavin showed Sadie how to collect and feed the chickens. Sadie likes all the animals on the farm.

Jacks' Walking

Jacks' Walking from Chris Swafford on Vimeo.


Jacks' has been working up to walking much slower than Sadie taking an extra three months. He seems to be enjoying the walking but reverts to his crawling when he needs to get something quick. Enjoy a few moments from the past few weeks.

Sliding with the Kids!


Sadie's Tent, Jacks' Sun Shelter Tent, & Our Tent...
