Update

The blog has taken a hit since I was "websensed" at work. Do you like how I made websense into a verb. Anyhow, I digress. Hopefully with our updated technology at home, I will get back on the ball and keep this blog updated for my devoted readers (all 5 or so of you)!

We have finally gotten a couple of swim classes under our belt after the first two was cancelled. The focus of the class is really on getting the kids comfortable in the water and teaching some basic water safety in preparation for swim lessons at a later time. We sing lots of songs and Emma is getting some introduction to basic strokes in the game play. It is amazing how much progress Emma made in just one week. The problem has never been a fear of water because Emma loves the pool. The issue is with getting her head and face in the water. The first week she did really good but was a little hesitant to jump into the pool to me. Last week, however, she was gung ho to jump in and didn't mind at all when her face got under the water a bit. She also did not protest when I poured water over her head with a cup that we were playing with.

The big boy is doing great and really has it in his mind that he wants to crawl but can't put it all together yet. While he may not crawl, he gets around. It is funny though because you can sit and watch him and while you are watching him, he can make his way five feet across the floor and you will still have no idea how he got from point A to point B. Brad is convinced that we must have a magic rug. He is closing in on the nine month mark so there will be a full report next week.

I'll leave you all with a few photos from Mother's Day!
