Splish Splash

Today was Owen's first Mommy and Me swim lesson!!! Since I signed him up for the classes last week I had been so excited, but also nervous about how he would react to the water. Thankfully, he did great. He was definitely unsure of how to react at first, but after the group sang a couple of songs together he warmed up fast. He was the youngest baby in the class and also the only boy. We could only stay in the water about 15 minutes because he started to get cold (even though this is an indoor swimming pool). We have 7 lessons left spread out until the end of April so I am sure he will be able to tolerate it more each time.
We also had a great weekend! Owen and I went to watch Brian play intramural basketball on Saturday and softball on Sunday. He plays on teams with the MUSC Psychiatry Department and the really have a lot of fun. We also ran a bunch of errands on Saturday, and Brian had Monday off to spend at home with us. Since Brian works every weekend right now, it was the first time in a while we have spent alot of family time together on a weekend. It felt wonderful to sit at home and goof off as a family!

I'm jealous - I hope that our Owen & I can do some swim classes together. Can't wait to hear more about them...

I'm loving reading about little Owen! You sure do have a keeper-- he's cute as a button in that itty bitty swimsuit!

That is the best times, is when you can goof off as a family. Those are by far my most favorite time. Thanks for sharing. Tell Brian I said hi.
Love Brooke

I love Owen shooting the peace sign. He is already a cool kid.
