Summer brings us -- birthdays, swim lessons, camp, and more!
Summer means LOTS of swimming --- so we decided to get some refresher courses for Josh and get Benji ISR self-rescue, water safe!
Josh's refresher lesson
Benji begins with lots of tears.
When Benji kept walking around the house trying to have his own backpack -- so we gave him an old one --- look how proud!
Goof!
Sleep overs with Grandma = purple polish mani/pedi
Another lesson -- more tears -- but lots of progress!
Josh is good to go!
Just in time for another birthday celebration --- Happy June 5th Birthday to Mommy and Aaron. Aaron and Eric decided to make a trip to S. FL. and visit the godsons!
Rise and shine.
Time to play!
Josh slept on Derek's trundle bed, so the guys could sleep in his room! He LOVED it!

A quick trip, but filled with fun, always.
One of the best parts of summer is time. Mommy has the time to take Benji to Family Time with Miss Karen and Miss Amy, his separation class in preparation for school. Can you believe it?!

Benji has more lessons:
You want me to go in there?
Each lesson, when Benji gets fed up, he looks for the baby on
the side of the pool, starts to wave, and says, "Bye, Bye, Baby."
“Bye, Bye, Baby.”
Benji hides from Ed. Where'd Benji go?
