What do you see?

Such a happy boy who loves the pool!

It's never to early to start working on your kick


All great swimmers eat their kickboards


I love flying with daddy in the pool!


This weekend the Brown family went swimming again, mostly because Henry loves it so much. We're happy to take him and spend time together as a family, and to find an activity that he loves. He warmed up to the pool and water much quicker this time, and loved it again. He even moved his arms and legs like he was paddling through the water towards us. I'm excited to really teach him to swim in a couple of years. But practicing floating and splashing and adjusting to the water is so much fun now! Even if Henry doesn't want to be a competitive swimmer when he gets to be a bigger boy, I hope he continues to enjoy playing in the water as he grows. I spent my entire high school career with wet hair, dry skin, smelling like chlorine and loving every minute of it; I can only hope Henry enjoys some activity as much - and he can do whatever makes him happy! Although so far, all signs point to a water baby..... :)

This weekend, Gabe was busy with work again, so Henry and I found some additional activities to keep us busy. Downtown, the city had all kinds of activities for kids for Easter, including sack races, Easter egg decorating, basket decorating, wagon rides, making bunnies. And of course, pictures with the Easter bunny. So, Henry and I loaded up, went to the South Bend Chocoloate Company, and had our picture taken with the Easter bunny! Actually, it was pretty hectic, and we stood in line for 40 minutes! I seriously debated when I saw the line - especially since Henry doesn't know the difference - but we needed something to do so why not? I was thinking as we stood there that this would probably be the easiest time, since when he is older and running around it will be more difficult to entertain him. Henry was great. although a little leary of the Easter bunny, so we took the picture together (not that I really wanted my picture taken with the Easter bunny, but anything for Henry!)


This weekend, we're looking forward to celebrating Easter in Oklahoma - decorating eggs, eating lots of yummy food, celebrating Passover, watching Henry eat matza, and spending time with family, who can't wait to see Henry!
