SUMMER is here!

We have had lots of fun things going on this spring, including Henderson's t-ball. Stephen was the team coach this time and he did an awesome job of teaching three and four year olds! I was proud of Stephen and Henderson! Henderson wrapped up his three year old preschool year with a fun pool party. I have LOVED watching him learn and grow this year. His teachers were fabulous and helped teach him so much about God's love through scripture. I feel so blessed to be able to send him to a preschool where God is the center of his learning. Another big thing he learned to do this year was write his name - and with 9 letters to get down, I'll say that is pretty impressive for a three year old.
Last week, Henderson took swimming lessons with three other little boys from Coach Tucker (apparently this man has been teaching swimming for a long time and even taught some of Stephen's buddies to swim back in the day). This man knows what he is doing and is pretty much a no nonsense kind of guy. He was not even phased by the screaming and crying that took place. By the 2nd day, Henderson got a lot more comfortable and by the 4th day the child was swimming like a fish. I kid you not folks, my three year old is SWIMMING!

David continues to be a ball of energy. He only stops to sleep or if he is watching a TV show. He will start a 2 year old class at our church (where Henderson goes) this fall. He will be going three days a week to his class and to mother's morning out (which he goes to now) the other 2 days. I can't believe he will be going 5 days in the fall. Since he will be going to school more, I will also be working more which is great for our family. I need to get swimming lessons for David because he loves the water and is not afraid to jump in or go under. He is wearing floaties (aka swimmies, water wings) and does well with them, but maybe if he had some lessons with Coach Tucker? Hummm, I've got to check and see if the man takes 2 year olds.

This past weekend we got to spend some time with my family at the lake - Lake Harding (or the Backwater for all my Valley peeps). It was a blast! I also got to see my dear friends Brett and Jessica Jones. I haven't seen them in WAY too long (we are talking years) and it was so great to catch up.
The above picture is from the lake. Can you believe how big everyone is? I mean Jack will be 12 in August!

I hope everyone has a great summer. We have lots of fun things planned and I'm enjoying every minute with my sweet boys!
