Swim Lessons Update-

FYI- If you look on the left you will see that the Youtube video bar has been updated to show BQM's first day at swim lessons. Start with the bottom swim video and work your way up to see the actual progression. Listen closely- his words are priceless:-).

BQM's first swim lessons...From terror to apathy!

This boy takes warming up to any activity. Swim lessons are no different. He was adament that he was *NOT* swimming. In the end he did pretty well. I could't figure out how to link the video directly, so here is a link to my Youtube site. Go in order (the 3rd is actually the 1st). Scroll down to view videos.

To blog or not to blog...

I am surrounded by blogs and bloggers. I really enjoy visiting them and catching up on the happenings in the lives of people I know and many I don't know. I have decided to dive into the world of blogging...mainly to provide a photo journal for my family and friends to keep up with the happenings in our lives. From time to time I may post updates on our adoption journey and milestones that my always exciting boys achieve-and I may even include a weekly report to share what we are working on in school- but my intention is to share our lives through pictures. Thanks for joining me!

Brogan was the first to hold his baby sister.

Aidan took one look at her and proclaimed "we sure got a good one, didn't we mom!" I think he likes her:).

Brendan is so gentle and loving.
