Swimming Lessons

Gray and I have been taking swim lessons every Saturday morning for about 6 months now. He seems to be getting pretty comfortable in the water although he is always very serious during the class. I don't know if he just takes his swimming seriously or is afraid that I will drop him and he will drown.

Birthday Party #1

Today we had our Mommy and Baby group over for a Birthday party for the four oldest kids. After lunch we tried finger painting with yogurt, some of them digged it while other thought that we were crazy!

Happy First Birthday to: A.J.

Ella and Gray

and to Will!

Are you kidding me?

Do not adjust your computer screens, yes it is April 18th 2007, yes those are hyacinths blooming in our garden, and yes that white stuff is snow! This is supposedly a record for our area, it is certainly the first time that I remember seeing snow in April since I moved to Seattle. It will be interesting to see if it sticks around for tomorrow.

Walking at the Little Gym

Gray has been taking "gymnastics" since last fall. He is learning to walk on a balance beam, do somersaults, we play with balls and a parachute, it is lots of fun for both of us. His newest trick is that he will walk all by himself between the parallel bars. This is especially exciting for me because he still refuses to walk along the couch by himself.

What a feeling...

Robert participated in the Aerlift charity show again this year. Here is the video. He is the second performer on the rope closest to the camera wearing black pants, teal shorts and a white t-shirt. Congrats everyone, it came together really well and your costumes are fabulous!

One last trip to Whistler

Last week we took one last drive up to Whistler, B.C. We rented a condo with our friends, Tom, Joe, Kyla, Chai and Robert's sister Megan. A full but fun house. The only glitch was the case of stomach flu that Gray brought up with him, passed on to me, Robert, Joe and Tom. Thank you everyone for helping us take care of Gray while I was indisposed and I am so sorry that we infected you.
