Swimming Lessons

This week and next the kids are taking their first-ever swimming lessons. It has worked out great, especially since Will, Jane and their cousin, Evey can be in the same class. Today was day three of eight and already the kids seem to be a lot more comfortable in the water. I think doing lessons every day instead of say, once/week has been great. Will, who thrives on predictability has especially benefitted from this. It also helps that Will has a mini-crush on his teacher. I'm proud of the three little squirts!

Jane's 3rd Birthday

Even though Jane doesn't turn 3 until next week, we celebrated today with our family.
Janie had a wonderful day starting with a trip to Krispy Kreme, fun at the park with Daddy and then a princess party. After everyone left, she insisted on carrying all of her presents upstairs and is currently sleeping in the princess castle she received as a gift from Grandma and Grandpa :-)
Besides being birthday time, today was also "Take Away the Binky Forever Day." There were some tears at nap time and more whining than usual, but overall she's taking it well.
We love our Princess!!

Swimming

We have had a few 65-75 degree days recently, which is plenty warm for the kids to strip and get into any body of water available:
