Saturday at the pool.

Check out my big boy, making his way around the pool this afternoon! I'm not sure there are many things cuter than a baby who's just learned to walk! 


Gracie has really been enjoying our pool visits this summer. She does great swimming around with her water wings on, but now that she's more comfortable in the water, we'd like to start swimming lessons. She's started taking notice of the kids who don't have to use floats or water wings, so I think the interest is there. Either way, I think it's important that she learn to swim on her own!

 

Nana, Ashley, Austin, and Chandler also joined us at the pool! It was nice having the kids together. I think they had a lot of fun. :) Mine, at least, were completely worn out once we got home!

    Take her to Ann Pitts at the K-ville Y! She is an AMAZING teacher who always gets results.

    So cute, that looks like a fun pool with that frog slide! I like your bathing suit...at least I think it was? Pretty, vibrant color, works well on you! I'm so glad you got to spend this time with your sister and her family, and your Mom, too! Fun weekend.

    I still cannot get over how easily and quickly Ethan has taken to walking. Once he got it, he GOT it! So precious to see. I can't wait for all that is still in store for him as he begins exploring even more!

Decisions, Decisions...

...but I think I've made up my mind. I've been going back and forth, back and forth, practically since I started blogging 3 years ago: Public or Private blog? I've decided that since I share quite a bit about my family, and share lots of pictures of my children (some watermarked, most not), These Little Moments will now be a private blog. I've never felt comfortable with the fact that there are literally hundreds of photos of my daughter, our family members, and now my son posted on the Internet for anyone and everyone to see. For those of you who would like to continue keeping up with Gracie, Ethan, and our family, let me know! I will send you an invitation to the private blog. I'll still be following along with your blogs, just not publishing publicly on my own anymore. I'm going to go ahead and make the switch at the end of the week. And to those who I know are following along... Just expect an invitation! :)

The end is near.

My husband is confident. He's determined, speaks his mind, and lives for a challenge. If you tell him something cannot be done, be prepared to be proven wrong. I rarely see him get nervous, for any reason... almost. My 38-week appointment was this morning. As usual, Sean and Gracie were with me, which I love. I was anxious to get to this appointment because I started having uncomfortable cramping yesterday evening, which then lasted through the night and even into the morning. I've experienced a few other "preliminary signs" of labor which have led me to believe that we're coming up on the end here. After talking with the doctor, he offered to check my progress and strip my membranes. This is when I got a little tickled, even as I was sitting on an exam table naked from the waist down, with nothing but a paper sheet wrapped around me. As the doctor began to describe the "stripping of the membranes" process, I had my eyes on Sean. His expressions were...

Hilton Head.

I was feeling heavy. Overwhelmed. Tired. The combination of sick children, sleep deprivation, and very little "me" time was starting to push me down a bit. I don't like feeling that way. I want to wake up with a smile on my face. I want to feel motivated and light . Our Hilton Head vacation arrived at the perfect time. Packing was a nightmare, but once our car hit the highway, I felt it... Freedom . It didn't matter that I was taking a sick child along, or that I was still going to be sleep deprived. Those things are easier to handle when you get a change in scenery, especially when that scenery becomes blue skies and an endless ocean. As we do each year in January, we joined Sean's dad and step-mom for a winter get-away. The weather was kind to us this year. Gracie loves the beach. She runs, and runs, and digs, and even plops down long enough to enjoy the change of scenery for herself. Ethan was unsure of the cool sand, but even he seemed to appreciate the fres...
