Finally he gets to swim

Nick has spent 2 1/2 years watching from the side
as Daniel and Laura have swimming lessons.

But he's standing a bit taller these days,
seeing as now he's really grown up and all,
getting to go into the pool by himself!!

Bikes

Daniel got a new bike

(Ryan, I secretly suspect he was thinking of you when he chose orange! :)

So I actually got a bike too and we went for a ride along the river.

Laura struggled towards the end, but she made it the whole 6 kilometers. In hindsight probably a bit much for her induction into bike riding, cause today (2 weeks later) we were talking about going to a bike riding park and her eyes get big and she says, "is it going to be a long ride?"

So hard

Always hard to say goodbye.

But let's just go to the airport and play card games for awhile and pretend we're not leaving.

I'll never know how it's possible to be ready

to go home but not want to leave.

Love you guys.

And there you have it.

Daniel, looking at a navel orange, casually says, "this looks like it's having a baby. See, that's the baby's head."

Okay Daniel, well you're not going to find any argument from me there...

In other news, I think perhaps in 7 years Daniel has changed less than I have. ;)

Great Grandparents

I remember visiting my great grandpa when I was young.
He told the same stories over and over about his life when he was younger.
I remember that it was slightly uncomfortable but at the same time
kind of intriguing. I don't know what my kids thought today,
and they took awhile to warm up, but it was sweet for me to see them
doing something that I so clearly remember doing.
And even though my Grandma and Grandpa are 92 and 93,
they didn't tell the same stories over and over!
(Grandma was more interested in my iPhone, amazed that zooming in and out didn't ruin the photo. Cuteness.)
