Summer Doings

Being 8 and 9 months pregnant during the summer, not to mention Joe's work travels all July, has meant that all high adventure summer activities have to wait until next summer. Thoughts of going places and doing fun vacation things seems great until I remember that my energy lasts only 1-2 hours before I need a long rest. Sitting in a car or on anything remotely hard for more than half an hour makes it painful to walk the rest of the day, etc. so we have mostly stayed close to home. Thankfully, there have been a few things to break up the days...doctor and dentist appts for me, visiting my sister's and my cousin's newborns, swim lessons and a big brother class for Xavi, and trips to Nashville and Seattle for Joe, plus a 10K on Pioneer Day!



The big race...good job, honey!

He was thrilled with his pick of the day :)


Swim lessons: "Pretend there is a magnet in your ear and your arm..."


To get them to jump in, the teacher played "chop, chop, timber!"

towel of awesomeness within the 4-6 yr old crowd.

That's so cute that there is a big brother class!
There's a present in the mail for Xavier and baby, so expect to see it this week!
