Jack learns to swim!

Jack started swim lessons yesterday at our gym and he went from learning to hold his breath and stroke to swimming today! I was shocked but so happy!! He has the rest of this week and next to really take off with swimming :) I'm so proud of him.

Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We had a celebration today at our subdivision park for the Mom's club, complete with a pinata for the kids. Here is Theo taking a turn at bat. He ate about 294953824 pieces of candy before we just had to leave!

Visit with Corinne

I flew over to Houston this weekend for my best friend Jen's baby "sprinkle" (a smaller version of a shower, usually for 2nd children). She is having a boy, Parker, in June and Corinne will be the big sister! Dave held down the fort with the kids this weekend. It basically rained in Louisiana the entire weekend. Poor Dad!

Playing catch

Dave has been throwing the ball around with Jack for ages now but Theo has just recently gotten in on the fun! Theo had his glove on but did very little catching or fielding :)

Jump start....

Kindergarten! Jack takes a weekly computer class at his preschool and they use several programs, one of which is called Jump Start Kindergarten! Gigi and Dada gave him this program for his birthday and we put it in for the first time today (since he's started it at school now and is familiar with it). Theo loves to sit nearby and watch and listen. One day he'll be the one navigating around with ease. Beats having the kids wrestling on the ground like usual ;)

Beignets

This picture is from last weekend. We wrapped up the wedding festivities by meeting up with Uncle Miller and Aunt Sarah for beignets. Theo was less than friendly and refused to even sit at the table with everyone for over 20 minutes. He was still very upset about being left behind with a babysitter we think! He did warm up at the last moment and offered up a hug to Uncle Miller. Jack wolfed down 4 beignets and some hot chocolate. It was the best day ever in his opinion!

Post-wedding lunch

Dave and I took the kids to Slidell yesterday for a crawfish boil with all the family from the wedding. Jack and Theo had their first Hubig's pie ever, I think. Jack also ate tons of crawfish and shrimp. He's even learning to peel his own :) Jack and Ryley hung out again. They really forged a friendship this week. Usually they don't give each other the time of day at family gatherings since other girls or boys are around so it's been really sweet to see them play so well.
