Karstin taking swim lessons!

For the month of June Karstin has been taking swim lessons at the Payne Institute. He absolutly loves his instructor Zane! He has come a long way from his first lesson. Day one went something like this...

Zane: Okay Karstin lets put our head under the water. Now hold your breath"
Karstin: No.

Okay so I don't know exactly what was said and it probably wasn't that bad, but one thing about Karstin is that he is not afraid to tell you NO if he doesn't want to do it or doesn't feel comfortable doing it. It is one of the things I love about him as well as something that is frustrating!

Here is Karstin jumping in to Zane. Now on the first day he would not jump in unless Zane was holding on to both of his hands. Zane would tell him to jump and Karstin would wait patiently for Zane to grab his hands before he would jump in.


Look his head is in the water!


Now this is Karstin with Laura. He likes Laura, but when Zane can't make it he looks around for Zane and is a little sad that he isn't there!

I am Alive!!

Okay so I feel like I have no time for the computer anymore. I hardly log in to facebook and I haven't logged on to blogger in what seems like years, but I am alive, just busy!

Regan is now 10 months old. She is small so most people think she is like 6 months old and yes she still wears some 6 month old clothing so I can see why people think that. She is my little monkey! She climbs on everything. The other day she climb on top of a shelf in our entertainment center in my office! The shelf rolls out so she was able to sit and then STAND on this safe (I say sarcastically) shelf and then pound on the TV, which was playing one of her all time favorites, Baby Einstein. So as you can see this is what happens when Mom is trying to check her email and thinks that she will be safe to do so while her lovely peaceful little girl is sitting quietly (deceiving) watching a movie!

Karstin....well he is such a good boy! He has such an imagination. He will be playing house which is his favorite thing to do and I'll hear him say "Mom!" "Mooommm!" and then I say Karstin I heard you the first time....what is it! Geez (right!) He then turns to me and says..."I wasn't talking to you." Oh...my bad! Ya so he is content at times to play by himself and his makebelieve family....Now at other times I will be walking around the house doing whatever and as I stop I feel a little thump on my back (Well more towards my bum!) and as I turn around Karstin smiles at me and says..."I am following you around the house Mom!"

So as you can imagine my days are filled up rather nice with two wonderful little kids. Now you might be asking how I am able to write this rather long post....where are my kids?? Well Regan is taking a nap and Karstin is playing pretend (Mom is not required to participate)...but wait I hear a frustrated boy in the living room...so I must go save the day!
