Goings on

I have to give credit for this photo of Eloise at school to her teachers (Thank you Viola, Michele and Norma!). It's fun to get a peek into Eloise's time away from home and see the elegant tea parties she has been hosting. I haven't gotten around to getting my own pictures off the camera for awhile, so it's extra nice to have this one from school to share.

It's been a busy month with Matt making a few trips to Southern California to visit Grandma Liz who has been in the hospital. We're all hoping she will get better soon. The kids miss their Papa like crazy when he's gone and are so excited to see him every time he comes home.

In the past couple of weeks Eloise has wrapped up swimming lessons for the summer - she now can float on her front and her back! Owen did not like the toddler swimming class too much. Eloise is having much more success giving him swimming lessons in the bathtub.

Eloise has also been having a blast with music lessons with Verna (our across the street neighbor). She's been making up her own rhythms, learning the difference between treble and bass, can identify a few notes on the keyboard (C, E and F so far), and has even made a multi-track recording of a song with Verna (track #1 = singing, track #2 = music). I'll try to spend a little time trying to figure out how to upload the song so you can hear it.

Coming Soon: Owen's Birthday!
