I know I just posted this a couple of weeks ago, but it’s my favorite picture from the boys’ swimming lessons. This is Miles jumping in on the last day of class.

A friend and I took our kids to the aquarium on Saturday. There’s a new area where you can feed the birds, but as you can see by the forlorn looks on my kids’ faces, the birds just weren’t hungry. At least it wasn’t a total waste. Linus ate his bird-feed stick.

Gettin’ fancy with the Lightroom presets. Not a terribly exciting picture (little boys racing cars? I could take this picture a thousand times a day, any day) so I thought I’d jazz it up a bit.

I started bootcamp at the gym on Monday (ouch, ouch, ouch) so I haven’t had time for any unique photo ops. Excuses, excuses.

You know my very favorite picture of the boys I’ve ever taken? I just realized it was almost a year ago! They look so much older now, don’t they? I have to say, I kind of like seeing the joy instead of the angst on Oliver’s face.

Went to another fancy party yesterday that my friend Ren co-hosted. Look how fancy she is, on the ten thousand dollar bill! (I mean Ren-thousand dollar bill.)

You only get sheet cakes like this at the very fanciest parties.

The final swimming post

At least for this year…

I just wanted to give a quick wrap up of the boys’ swimming lessons, mostly because I brought my DSLR yesterday and got some good pictures. Heh.

You already saw Miles jumping in. Let’s just say, that’s his strength. Oliver and Linus were a little more timid about jumping. See Oliver:

or here. Doesn’t that make your toenails hurt?

and your knees?

Ouch.

But they definitely each had their strengths. Miles’s was jumping, Linus’s was kicking:

(okay, maybe this isn’t the best representation, but it’s true, I promise.)

and Oliver’s was scaring me half to death while holding his breath (that’s him on the right):

But they all excelled at being friggin’ cute in the pool.

And as a fun bonus, here’s a video of all three diving for Ms Judy’s silver bracelet. Don’t ask who that screechy voice is yelling in the video. Uh, I have no idea.
