SURPRISE!!!

Here you have the biggest shock of my life. 

For 10 months we will have three under five, including two under two for the first four months.  Wow.

Daddy's Hat #2

(This post is not to be confused with Daddy's Hat #1 from when Kelly was just over 8 months old.)

Swimming Lessons

Alyssa had her first swimming lesson on Saturday and absolutely loved it.

She kept scooting forward to "jump" in, again and again!

She also did a ton of waving to Daddy...

Kelly had her second swimming lesson at the same time.  She has now graduated from parent/child classes to being in the pool all by herself!

Happy 1st Birthday, Alyssa!!!

On Saturday we celebrated Alyssa's first birthday with an intimate gathering of her grandparents and her aunts.

 

Bead Master

Kelly, beader extraordinaire.  It keeps her happy for a while too... we just have to keep Alyssa away from all those choking hazards.

Alyssa's First Popsicle

Daddy arrived at school today to find Alyssa enjoying a popsicle like a big girl in her new classroom.

Marine Corps Museum Playground

This may just be my favorite playground.  Shady, lots of great equipment, and close.  It was a nice place to visit with my Uncle Teddy and Aunt Paula while they were visiting this weekend.
