My last post didn't include any pictures because I hadn't had a chance to download the camera and sort through the photos. So, here's a quick look at some of the things we've been up to lately:
It's been a busy few weeks.
At the beginning of the month, I travelled to Ottawa by myself for the weekend -- leaving Ryan with the kids -- to see my sister who, in her 24th week of pregnancy was put on strict hospital bed rest. I stayed for three days and when things started to look up, I came home on Monday night. She's doing ok for now, and, thankfully, still pregnant. But she's still hospitalized and will be for the remainder of her pregnancy (however long that may be).
While I was off in Ottawa -- Ryan took the kids to a nearby fun fair where the kids apparently had a blast.
The next weekend, we all hung out close to home -- getting stuff done around the house. And this weekend, Ryan has been playing in a baseball tournament all weekend. It rained yesterday, so I kept the kids at home, but today, I brought the kids out to watch two of the three games.
Austin is done spring swimming lessons and he passed the level! He did amazing, and can now (among other things) swim with a lifejacket, unassisted across the width of the pool. I have signed him up for a summer swimming session in July. And, I managed to find a pool not too far away that has a guardian swim class (mom and tot in the water together) at the same time as Austin's swim level, so Alexandra will be taking her first swimming lessons this summer too. She loves the bath, so I'm hopeful that she'll love being in the pool too.
The swim classes are every morning for a two-week period in mid-July. It should be fun, and it'll give us something to do every morning.
Austin is also 'playing' soccer again this summer. We signed him up in the same league as last summer -- a session only for two and three year olds -- and he is really enjoying it again. This time, he has a far better attention span and is really getting into it. It also helps that the league limited the registration to about 20 kids this year -- instead of the 60 to 70 they had last year.
A few things about Alexandra:
I guess that's about it for now.
