just because

 Random happenings in the past month:

 This kid just keeps getting bigger and just so dang cute - even the drool is sort of cute... :)

 This is what happens when you jump off older sisters' bunkbed ladder to touch the light cords and then land on Kirsten's head with your nose. Daddy then spends the next 10 minutes researching 'broken nose'. You then spend the next week with light bruising under the eyes and breathing slightly louder than normal. Alas, no broken nose and it has not slowed him down a bit!

 Dad wears a do-rag, we all wear a do-rag and glasses to work in the yard.

This is how we spent the first day of swim lessons:

 we're in the water......level 1

 Lucas complained the whole drive to the pool, then threw up in the parking lot - eggs, yuck.

Then threw up on the pool deck - sorry guy who got to clean it up, at least it was mostly clear (the chunks were in the parking lot - sorry Hales)

Threw up a few more times in the cooler - don't worry I emptied it first

 and........cue the tears...what?!

 at least one of us was having fun!

Day 2 was only slightly better - no puking, but there was crying the entire lesson by Abbey. I moved her on day 3 to an earlier class with smaller kids. The kids in her original class were at least 7-8 years old, much bigger and could stand - while she clung to the side of the pool. She now LOVES, LOVES swim lessons and we have had no puking. Fun, really good teachers too - always helps.
