Another week of swim lessons and both boys are still doing great.  Sam is learning freestyle, the backstroke and "pillow".  He has no fear of the water, never really has and is so obedient to his teacher.  Drew is also doing great.  He still hasn't shed the first tear and is willing to do whatever his teacher asks of him.  He is learning to float on his back, get to the wall and flip from his stomach to his back.

I can't believe that it's august 1st.  Soon we are going to be sending Sam off to pre-school for the first time.  I'm really excited for him and know that he is going to love it, but I have to say it's hard to see him growing up.  Just this week, he went to the movies with Lydia and it made me kind of sad to see him drive off.  He loves working on crafts, he is awesome at coloring and can still throw a ball with serious speed and accuracy!  If you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he will tell you a soccer player or a weather man.  He loves to look outside and predict if it's going to rain or not.

Drew is still the most active of the two boys.  He is always on the move.  I have quickly learned that he needs to get outside or go somewhere that he can run and burn energy.  He is going through a phase right now that he asks to be a baby and loves me to wrap him up in a blanket and hold him.  He really is a momma's boy, but I would never complain about that.  A lot of times, he will look at us and say, "i wanna tell you sumtim" When we say what, he says "om, om, om" and then makes up something.  He loves talking and has a great vocabulary.  His first prayer a few months ago was, "God, cake, amen!" He almost always volunteers to pray before each meal.  Another funny Drew story, one day he said to me that he wanted "sicken" (chicken) and then said "uh, achually, cake"  That boy loves his cake!  Drew is still napping once a day and some days will ask to go to bed.

Well, it's time to get ready for swim lessons!
