Boats and beaches

Here are some more recent photos of the kids.

Knitting

Just because the weather is nice, doesn't mean I have stopped knitting.  Moved on to toys as the knitted wear is a little warm.  Here is an update to the knitting album.

First things first

There have been a lot of firsts happening with the kids lately so I thought I should start recording them. 

Sophia:
First time doing the monkey bars (about a month ago actually)
First time able to pump on the swings all on her own (again, about a month ago)
First time diving into the water head first - today.
First time swimming with no floatation devices or people (about a month ago this was emerging, however, she is  a full on doggy paddler now)
First time able to snap
First time able to ride a bike with one hand (about a month ago on this)
First time knitting on two needles (about a month ago)

Dylan:
First time loving swim lessons (as opposed to the utter dislike of them the last time around)
First time swimming on his own with just a bubble on his back
First time snapping (about a month ago)
First time flicking (about a month ago)
First time completing large 100 piece puzzles mostly on his own (a few months now)
Graduated to a 16" wheel bike and still able to ride up and down curbs and one handed.
Skipping (a couple months now)

Pretty amazing kids :)  I will try to post some pics of them soon.
