After a very early start, 5:40am, we have arrived at Mom and Dad's for the weekend. They are still in Europe but Diana, Mary and Brock are here. Emma is going to come visit tomorrow and I am hoping to be able to squeeze in a visit with Bettina before we head home no Sunday evening.
Yesterday, we made a nice lasagna dinner for Patrick's birthday. The kids wanted him to have a party so we decorated with streamers and balloons and had brownies (Patrick doesn't like cake) for dessert.
On Monday, Connor started swimming lessons. He was very nervous about swimming without Mom or Dad and won't get in the water at first. Once he did get in, he did great. On Wednesday, he had no problems getting in the water and started making friend with a couple of the other boys in his class. He is kind of a handful for his teacher because he has no fear of the water (he has been swimming since he was 3 months old) and thinks he can swim on his own. He can swim about 5-7 feet on his own with his face in the water and can even get his head back up for a breath but HATES swimming on his back.
