Ok, so I’m finally trying this blog thing. I hope it will help me keep a record of what’s going on… every day flies by so fast.
Christian… I can’t believe he’s 6 already. He’s getting so tall. He has been really enjoying his swimming lessons. We’ll find out tomorrow if he passed to the next level, but we suspect not. That’s ok… for a kid that just started swim lessons a month ago, we think he’s doing great! Christian is looking forward to daycamp in a few weeks. It’s a bit scary, sending him off with strangers, but it sounds like a fun program. He’ll get to spend a day with the Everett Aquasox. I love that he is learning to read. Every now and then, he writes me a note that says, ‘For Mome I luv u Christian’ 
What a sweetheart.
Brandon… This kid has so much energy I just don’t know what to do with him sometimes. He scares me, the way he bursts around. I’m afraid he’ll hurt someone. At 3 1/2, he never stops. He can be very dramatic too. He desperately wants to help take care of Alyson, but he smothers her. The good news is that he is very loving. He also is doing great at swimming. I was worried for a while… I thought he’d never put his head under the water. Suddenly last week he got it! I am SO proud of him! We weren’t going to sign him up for August classes, but now that he’s gotten some momentum going, I think we’d better sign him up after all.
Alyson…
Well, Alyson’s info will have to wait for later. I just spent the last half hour upstairs with the kids. Darling boys managed to break their floor fan (something about trying to see out the window). When I got up there, the light was on, all three kids were awake and staring at their fan… in half… face down on the floor and still going. Great fun. Now Alyson is screaming because she is so tired. Let’s hope she goes to sleep soon so I can go to bed.
