Henry swimming!!

The H-man takes to the water just like a fish.  He swims until he cannot swim anymore...he absolutely LOVES being in the water.  He has done wonderfully this session too, and I am so proud of him.  The boy literally has no fear.  A good and bad thing.  : )  I think that it will help him in life!!

Paul swimming!

Here's Paulie swimming to the lane markers.  This was taken from last week.  He has already gotten better, and has smoother arm strokes.  This boy might be a swimmer!  Look out Michael Phelps!!

Bates' Swimming Lessons......

The boys LOVE swimming and swimming lessons at Bates with the boys' swim team is simply the BEST!!  Paul and Henry love their teachers and have so much fun with them each lesson.  They look forward to the next afternoon with Brett and Matt, and can't wait to get in the pool!!  This Fall's lessons will come to an end tomorrow with the Fun Day!!  Wonder how many times Henry will jump off the 3 meter board?!  Man, that makes me nervous.....  But he loves it!!  And has been talking about it for 2+ weeks now.

Here are a couple of videos of the boys swimming. They have come SO far since last year.  It truly blows me away.  Good job, Paul and Henry!!  We love you!

I love long weekends!!

We have been having so much fun going to the beach with the boys this summer, and this afternoon was no different.  They LOVE the water and swimming in it.  Although it was a little chilly this afternoon, we still had a great time.  Pine Point tomorrow....the ocean!!

 On Paul's first day of 3rd grade....

 On Henry's first day of Kindergarten!!

 I love that we walk to school.  Warms my heart.  : )

My sweet darling, Henry......waiting in line to go to school for the first time.  He absolutely LOVES it!!

Blueberries and Baseballs.....

Henry ate almost as many berries as he picked.  ; )

Although Paul doesn't eat blueberries, he loves to pick them.

Paul, Henry, David and Brian enjoy some Amato's Italian sandwiches at our tailgate before the Seadogs baseball game.

The boys outside Hadlock before the first pitch!

After the game, the boys wanted to take their picture with Slugger the Seadog!

David's ice cream sundae was bigger than his head!

Henry and Mommy.  : )

Paulie and Daddy.

H-man and his 'scream!!

David casting out....

David LOVES casting out, and I have to say has figured it pretty darn good for a three year old.  Can't wait to get him to Lake Ontario and let him catch the BIG one!!

P.S.  I love how he turns around at the end to see the look on my face.  : )

20th High School Reunion....Go Eddies!!
