Littlest Swimmer

This summer I decided to put Miles in swim lessons.  As long as the older two are in the

water, it makes it easiest for Miles to be in there too.  With him in the water, I can sit back,

drink my coffee and have 30 minutes to relax (somewhat).  The alternative is to be chasing

him around the pool deck, while trying to watch the other two swim at the same time.

Option 1 was definitely more appealing to me.  :)

At first Miles was not happy to be in the water.  Actually, that might be an understatement.

By not happy I mean I would have to hand him over screaming to the instructor and he

would continue to cry the entire time they walked him through the water.  Because at this

point, that's really all they're doing.  Getting him familiar with the water.

But I am happy to say, we have finally turned a corner.  Miles is much more comfortable with

 ane and I'm actually seeing smiles in the water.  :)  I knew he'd come around.

Backyard Field Hockey

We don't have a ton of space in our backyard,

but thankfully the boys always still find a way to keep busy.

Cantigny - Round 2

After the boys and I had so much fun at Cantigny, we had to bring Ryan to show him.  :)

Fun at the Ogilvies

The perfect summer day for sprinklers and popsicles!

Ice Cream and Chess

In case you're wondering, no, they have absolutely no idea how to play chess.

But they definitely look like they know what they're doing.  :)
