Swimming Season is Here

This past weekend marked the beginning of swimming season for our family. Steve has been working hard this spring to get the pool crystal clear, and just in time. We've had several 90 degree days which has made the water the perfect temperature for swimming. Zach was a little too young last year so this is his first experience in the pool. Steve slowly inched him in, and Zach LOVED it!!! He loves floating around in his tube watching his brother swim around like a fish. Mabel also provides lots of entertainment, fetching ball after ball that Steve throws in the pool. It's great for our schedule as Steve takes the boys in the pool while I prepare dinner and occassionally peek out to check on them all. Notice that I finally broke down and purchased matching swimsuits for the boys. It was just too tempting!!!

T-Ball Practice

Here are a few pictures from Luke's first t-ball practice through the YMCA. He has since had several practices and games. His team's name is The Padres and his uniform sports the number eight. He has really been enjoying playing on a team, and Steve and I can't get enough of watching our little guy round the bases and chase after balls. I think it's been a great experience for us all, and if you ask Luke, he'll tell you that his favorite thing about going is the juice boxes and snacks. That's my boy!

I'm Blogging?

I know, I know, you're probably surprised that I'm really going to attempt this blogging thing. Me too! I'd really like to find a way to communicate better with our extended family and allow them to see little snapshots of our life, like Zach's first time swimming or Luke's t-ball games. Here goes nothing...
