Easter

Well nothing too much has been going on recently. Just regular day to day stuff. Arianna has started a new swimming class. She is in advanced swimming so she does about 45 minutes of lap swimming. They are working on teaching the kids how to alter their strokes to make them more of a racing stroke. So for backstroke they are learning how to roll their shoulders, etc. The class is really hard for her. She is the youngest by far and everyone has been in the class before -so she is getting used to not being the fastest and being at the end. But this class should really challenge her and push her and is more exercise for her. She has class on Tues/Thur. tues are busy because right after swimming we have to run to Tball. She has her first Tball game this weekend. She is enjoying learning all about baseball.

Ethan is doing well - speaking better all of the time. We got a video about letters that was a recommendation from a friend and he loves it. So it is teaching him the sounds of the letters, etc. He wants to watch it all the time and repeats what it says. he is very cute. He took a spill out our backdoor this weekend and scratched up his forehead, nose and chin and the day before he had fallen and bite the inside of his lip, so he had a rough weekend. He is still our strong little boy. he his so muscular it is crazy!

Michael and I are getting ready for our trip to hawaii. Michael has been working extremely hard for a long time now and he is in desparate need of a true break and relaxation. We are going to Kauai and Oahu. This time we plan to do more snorkeling, try a zipline and try parasailing. Of course i am looking forward to just be near a beach with warm water and hanging out at the ocean - that is where I am truly at peace. We leave on the 30th and come home on the 9th.

Well here are some pictures from easter and of ethan's face!
