Catching up- Swimming

Next in a long line of catch up posts.....swimming lessons.  The local rec center offers a baby and me swim class that is meant to get kids used to being in the water and start to give them some knowledge of what to do while they're in it.  They say big things like "teaching your child to survive" but thats not really the case.  I'm sure with the older kids it could go that way, but with our little ones, it was more about having fun in the water and learning what different things feel like. 

Here are a few random pictures.  Its tough to take good shots in an indoor pool, lots of weird lighting going on.






Catching up- VT Trip

Yeah, we took this trip in February and I'm now writing about it in August.  Whats your point?  :-)

Went to VT with some family to catch a mens basketball game.  Had an awesome weekend in Blacksburg and got to enjoy one of the few significant snows of the entire winter.  What a beautiful place that campus is.  The snow makes it even better. 

Enjoy.

All in all it was a great trip.  Things were beautiful, the Hokies won on a last second shot (that Mila slept through) and we had a great time with the family.  I do miss Blacksburg though!

Whoops!

I have been downright terrible about updating this blog I know.  But I promise that I will have pictures of our recent trip to NJ along with swim lessons posted here this week. 

All I have to do is remember to put the pictures on a flash drive.  That shouldn't be that hard.....right?  :-)
