Summer Swimming

Benjamin is now a Certified Shrimp! He finished his swimming class last week, and really enjoyed it. The class make-up was kind of interesting. Most kids (18 mos.-3 yrs.) were there with a nanny or grandparent, or if they were with their mom, they were an only child. And if they had a sibling, the sibling was with a babysitter. So I felt a little out of place, juggling my two little boys (hence the lack of pictures), but we had a good time and no one drowned!

This weekend, we took a little road trip up to Indianapolis to visit Paul's cousin Adrea and her family. Peter's new convertible car seat we ordered arrived just in time for him to break it in right. He's getting so big!
On Saturday, we went to an organic farm and saw some chickens and cows. Here's Mr. Henry and Benjamin. They are close in age but have very different personalities. Despite their differences, they're getting to be good friends!

We lucked out and had Paul's Grandma there too. She was visiting Adrea for a few weeks, so we were delighted that our little trip coincided with hers. Strangely GG (Great Grandma) has only blue-eyed great-grandsons so far despite a good bunch of brown-eyed parents in the mix.
