I got myself a new camera.  I've upgraded from the standard point and shoot to a Nikon D3100.  I'm loving it.  I don't have oodles of time to write an actual post, but I seriously needed to post some pictures!

 Ethan is working on recognizing the letters in his name.  We wrote his name big and then he could spray off the letters one at a time while saying the letter name out loud.  He had a blast!

 We also went to Cheeseman Park for a free dancing event and the boys were having so much fun!

Welcome summer! We're spending the afternoon playing in the backyard making chalk monsters. So much fun! 

 Here is Cooper standing with his teacher Miss Megan.
 Ethan and I waiting for his class to start.  Until he turns three he will be in a Parent/Tot class, so I get in the water with him.
 Coopers getting in the water.
 They have PVC pipe "decks" that they put at the end of each lane so kids can sit in the water while the teacher helps one kid at a time.
 Cooper's first turn out with his teacher.  Last year he was starting to work on floating on his back but I think it will take a few lessons to get comfortable enough to work back up to the level he ended at last year.  We'll go every week for at least a couple of months so I hope they'll be more comfortable to swim this summer.
 Little Ethan just couldn't stay awake any more.  It was about 4 pm and I didn't put him down for nap hoping he'd go to bed early but he climbed on my lap and fell asleep instead.
 Here is a random picture that Ethan took of us while we were cleaning up the house.
 Cooper is working on some math lately.  He working on identifying the numbers 1-20 and matching them with base ten block pictures.  The pictures will lead him into an understanding of place value in a base ten system, but we're not ready for that advanced work yet.

Tonight Steve was reading a Magic School Bus book to Cooper. It talked about different rocks and Volcanoes, so naturally they had to look up you-tube videos of lava :)
