This is Mitchell and Maria's second week of swimming lessons. It has been much warmer and the sun has even come out! The teachers do such a good job with them. Grandma got to come watch them one day last week and then she took us to the Bakery for a treat! Last Friday Chuck had the day off and the teachers were trying to get the kids to blow bubbles in the water. When that didn't work with Maria, the teacher said, "Can you get your nose wet?" and Maria wouldn't cooperate. Then Chuck yells out to her,"Maria, get your nose wet!" She dipped her hand in the water and put water on her nose!
Today they went down the water slide for the first time--both of them. They were nervous, but then were excited they made it! Mitchell says that Catherine is his favorite and Maria likes Sylvie the best!
Maria feels like a princess when she wears her jewelry! Mitchell likes to be a puppy or kitty by the name of "Ginger". I think this picture was taken the day he was the princess's cat, Ginger! He also likes to show us he can curl his tongue - he calls it a "Hot Dog Sandwich". I think that's another term he made up, or heard from Grandpa!
We will be celebrating Mitchell and Maria's learning to swim with a trip to see Auntie Barb and Jimbo to swim in their pool. The kids will also get a chance to be in the lake at my friend Paula's house next week. It will be good practice for our vacation when we go to stay at a house on a lake up North with Grandma & Grandpa and we hope Uncle Brent and Aunt Wendy too!
Chris has a new gig at the Anoka theatre: Lyric Arts. He is a stage manager and a manager of all of the stage managers! We spent his birthday at Elsie's for dinner and bowling - what a good time! We all always look forward to spending time with Brother Chris, and now his girlfriend Allie too!
