First Swimming Lessons

I am happy to report that Carson did a super job at his first day of swimming lessons! He was so excited. He didn't hesitate to go with the teachers when it was time, but he was a little shy when they talked to him. He did really good during the lessons and did what they said. We were very
proud of him. He is so grown up!

I think this picture captures his excitement perfectly! :)

At the end of swimming the kids get a few minutes of free time, so Ethan go to come over and play. Ethan is in his third session of lessons at the Y, he did really good swimming across the pool!

Snow?

I guess I missed posting for the whole month of January. Oops! :) Not a lot has been going on in our household! The kids are missing the fact that we have hardly had any snow this winter. The few times we have, they are right out there to play in it. Ethan has been doing really good in school and just finished up a basketball camp and Carson is fully potty trained! Hallelujah! I may sign both of them up for swimming lessons in February at the Y. I am nervous to sign Carson up though...I am not sure if he will like staying with a teacher by himself and I also don't know if he will actually LISTEN to a teacher for lessons. I guess I won't know unless we try. Wish me luck!
Here's our last few months in pictures.

So happy to be out in the snow!

Ethan was pulling Carson around the yard in the sled...he was even doing it nicely!

Ethan all dressed up for his Sunday school Christmas program.

The kids with the LARGE Buzz tunnel that their nice auntie Shannon got Carson for Christmas.

Coloring a Mater cardboad play house. Our family gave the kids lots of large Christmas presents this year...I think they must be trying to drive us into a bigger house!

We went over to New Ulm to play with Owen over Christmas break.

Aubrey and Jack were over on a Wednesday (curling night!) and they are watching some TV. I took the picture because we thought it was cute that they were sitting from oldest to youngest, and we didn't even plan it.
