Dancing Machine











The Music moves him, what can I say! Oh and in the one where he's covering his mouth, well, he's beat boxing.

Beautiful day at the Park













Today was just too lovely to stay inside. What to do, yard work or go to the park. Yard Work-Park? The Park won. The kids had a blast. Here are some great shots from our visit.

Comcast Cares Day


Comcast was nice enough to send a group of volunteers to help with 2 ig projects at the Y, painting the Lawrence St. gym and spring clean up at Camp Otter. For every Y employee or friend of that came they donated another $20.00 to the Y. Allen helped with the massive clean up of Camp Otter. Here's what he looked like when he got back.

Isn't She Lovely, Isn't She Beautiful


Our Little Fashion Maven


I know I've shared pics of Rachel after she dressed herself before but I had to share this one.

Mornings




I know I've mentioned it before but morning around our house can be difficult. Mostly there's a lot going on in a short amount of time so unless we want to get up at 5 am we need to just make things work and stick to the schedule. That's not so easy with a grumpy kid let alone 2. This week was particularly bad. Here's what we faced most of the mornings! Looks like someone needs to go to bed a little earlier.

Our daughter the fish




Since Rachel turned about 2 she has ben taking swim lessons. Everyone once in a while we take a session (8 weeks off) but for the most part it's been pretty consistent. On top of that being that she goes to the Lawrence Y for PS she gets to take lessons there once a week as well. As a result she's become part fish. She now can back stroke the entire length of the pool (no bubbles), she jumps off the blocks with no bubbles, is learning to dive and swim under water. The other day she swam deep enough to touch the bottom of the deep end.




Here's some pics.


Fasionista


Rachel loves to pick out her own clothes. For the most part we just go with it. Occasionally I have to step in and tell her something is not appropriate like when she decides to wear sleeveless shirts in say February. This is today's outfit.
