swimming memories

Well, Timothy has been taking swimming lessons for a week, and it brings back sooooo many memories from my swimming days. Today, the instructor piled up the kick boards on the edge, and I just had to take a photo. You'll also see that all 3 of my kids felt the need to lay on the same bench during the break for lightening. They really do love each other (all in all a great thing).

Back from the "big easy"

So, we're back after 5 wonderful days away. Everyone here had a GREAT time with Papa & Grandma Surburg (as expected), and we are SOOO thankful that they were willing to take over the kids, dog and house for 5 days. I will include some photos of the French Quarter and any other favorite shots. New Orleans looks mostly the same in the French Quarter but other areas still look like Katrina just hit a few months ago and not nearly 2 years ago. Enjoy!

What's missing???

Well, it's a special day in the Surburg house today because.....someone lost his 1st tooth. My boy is growing up tooooo fast!

Look who's 2 x 2

Well, it's official! Matthew & Abby are 2 years old. They had a great bday with Uncle Mikey here visiting, and then, they had a party with the Surburg family. They really got some great presents.... a kitchen, a bubble machine, a slide, a Tiki Soker, a sand & water table, a new ride on police car & other more individual items. We are so blessed to have them and while they are work, they have just added more love to our family. I love Matthew's smile and Abby is my little snuggle bug. On their actual birthday, Timothy told me how much he loves Matthew & Abby. Sometimes I feel sorry for him and the lack of attention he gets, but I think he loves our crazy family too. Enjoy the photos....and yes, I made the Elmo cake!
