Lots of updates!!

I've been a bit behind in posting. I've added several fun updates below and have one or two more to add over the next few days. We've been having lots of fun, especially now that the weather is warm. Please keep visiting and posting comments, it keeps me motivated to post when I know people are actually out there reading!

I do want to say a special thank you to all our family and friends who have been so supportive over the last few weeks. Thank you so much for the phone calls, cards, emails and visits. It may not seem like much, but it means the world to us and we can't tell you all how much we appreciate it.

Thank you everyone!

SWIM LESSONS!

On Tuesday Connor started swim lessons. At first he was a little hesitant to put his face in the water, but on the 2nd day he warmed right up and had a great time. He loves the lessons and really seems to be getting the hang of it. Here are some pictures that I took tonight. He will continue the lessons for the next 3 weeks.

Tante Nen-Nen's Cool Pool

Uncle Bob and Tante Nen-Nen put in a swimming pool and on Father's Day, they invited us over to go swimming. I had so so so much fun, Mommy and Daddy couldn't get me out of the pool.

Dirt Pile -- Best Toy Ever!!!

Our friends Steve & Kristie, just moved into a new house and are working on their yard. There is a nice big dirt pile in the back, and of course, the kids were drawn to it like it was the world's coolest, most expensive swing set. Why do we even buy toys? I think a box and a dirt pile (and some trains) would definitely cover it! Here are some pictures of the kids in the dirt pile (yes he went straight home to the tubby....there is only so much dirt a mommy can take).


Getting a little help to get to the top! Thanks Lexi!
