Swim Class Week One

Anna and Sam finished the first week of their two week swim classes today. It is amazing how much effort and energy it takes to get two kids in the pool for thirty minutes a day .... it is a truly an exhausting endeavor.



* I know this is the worst photo ever taken of Miss. Anna; however, she thinks it is a "super funny photo with my silly face."

Bonus Koi

We went over to Nana and Pop pop's for lunch on Tuesday. Luckily for us, they know how much Anna loves both sweet and sour chicken and petting the Koi fish.

Happy 10th Month Sam

Today is Sam's 10th month birthday. In honor of this big day, Sam pulled himself up to standing. He likes to scoot on his bottom or move by an army style crawl to get where ever he needs to go. Anna started crawling at 10 1/2 months, so we are not surprised that Sam is a little late as well. Dr. Bangston once asked me if we had hardwood floors .. so maybe that makes a difference. Or maybe they are just babies that are happy to sit and look around. Charles lowered his crib tonight and Sam was not so happy with the change.



He eventually decided that it was OK to have a new view out of the bars. Sam was also happier once Mickey left the crib ....



This is Anna sleeping in her bed at 10 months (December 2006).



And ... since I was looking at the December 2006 photo's, I found this one of Miss. Katie from her first birthday party that I thought her grandmother might like to see.

Kelly Point and Cake

We went on a hike today to Kelly Point. A great beach with ospreys, boats, airplanes, and fisherman.



This is my "graduation cake" for Wilton course two. The photos look extra nice since Stephanie came over to take some photos of my cake for me today. Thanks!

A Very Loyal Girl

Anna likes Elvis music. She knows that Elvis is often called "The King" and that he is dead. On the radio this morning, they were taking about Michael Jackson being "The King of Pop" and that he is dead. Anna was upset with this idea since "don't they know ELVIS IS THE KING." To be fair, I do not think she has heard any of Michael Jackson's songs yet and if Stich was a big Michael Jackson fan it might swing her towards his side a little more.

A Daisy Duck Fan

I bought Daisy Duck rain boots and umbrella at the Disney Outlet for $6.99 last week. The giant box came today.



This video is of Anna singing "Baby Beluga" while marching around the couch. Interesting to note that Anna told me the dance she was doing is called "the spider victory dance after they bite you."



This might be the best $6.99 I have spent in a long time.

Feeding Koi

Anna, Sam, and I had dinner with Nana tonight at a favorite Chinese restaurant. Anna likes the sweet and sour chicken and eating with chopsticks. They both really love to pet the fish in the koi pond.



While Anna got to feed the fish, Sam was trying to get one to suck on his fingers.
