Having a GREAT time with family!

We have been sooooo fortunate to have such a close-knit family and have relatives visit quite frequently. We don't ever need to ask if they can attend the kids' events whether it be a swim lesson, sports game, school concert or parade. They ask us when the events are and everyone goes. We LOVE that! I hope Ian and Gavin realize how lucky they are to have such awesome support! Most events have been for Ian since Gavin isn't old enough yet for the team sports. But, he was the center of attention on Monday at his swim lesson! I hope it doesn't rain on Wednesday because they are excited to watch their first t-ball game! Of course it's Gavin's swim lesson again Wednesday morning and I believe they'll be there, too.

Pop-pop and Uncle Jimi catching a glimpse of Gavin's first swim lesson this session. Uncle Jimi comments on the determined look of Gavin during anything that he does! One PROUD Great Uncle and Great Grandfather, I think.

Gavin swimming from the deep end to the shallow end on a noodle. He has come a long way! Gavin was a little sad that Wes isn't teaching him this session, but he seems to enjoy Katy and he likes to swim in the deep end during lessons.

Cailean snapped this picture before we left the house the other night! Aunt Sandi posing with Pop-pop...what an awesome picture!

Aunt Sandi and Uncle Jimi watched the boys this afternoon while Cailean and I were both at work. They took them swimming and the boys LOVED it! Of course, right?! We do have two fish!!! Cailean and I headed over to the townhome after work and stayed to visit and had dinner there. Aunt Sandi bought the kids Zingo and we played quite a few games of that. Uncle Jimi and Aunt Sandi did quite well with the game! :) Lots of laughs, memories and good times the last week with my aunt and uncle! They head back up to Long Island on Thursday and then we get ready for my cousin, Madeleine, who arrives next Tuesday night! She'll be with us for a week!!! Maddy, we cannot wait until you get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
