Cute things

Well, once again it's been too long since my last post. Here are some quick observations.

Missing Papa - Mark arrived home from his trip to MN last Wednesday after the boys had gone to sleep. In the morning around 6:30 Sam cam into our room and I showed him that Papa was home. He climbed over to Mark, gave him a hug and kiss and said, "Papa, I missed you very much." Actually, he said it several times - very cute!

Swimming - I can't believe how much Dylan and Sam's swimming has improved this summer. Although they are not using the traditional strokes they are moving pretty independently in the water relying on their swim muscles (those floats that fit over the arms) and kick boards. They can go the length of the pool with their kickboards. They go down the slide all by themselves and don't need to be caught. They just go into the water, pop to the top and "swim" to the side. This weekend they started jumping into the water holding hands - very cute!

Ice Cream Kisses - Tonight for dessert Dylan picked pudding and Sam wanted ice cream. Dylan finished first and while Sam was working his way though his ice cream cone he was offering bites to Papa and Mark. When I commented that he had an ice cream mustache and goatee he thought that was pretty funny. Dylan wanted a mustache so he kissed Sam and made sure he got a face full of ice cream too - again, very cute!

Well, that's all for now. More soon!
