Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day weekend filled with a mix of family time, friend time and house project time. We are almost finished with our bathroom remodel. Sam and I were finishing up the painting this weekend and there are a few tiny details that the contractors will hopefully finish up on Thursday. I will post pictures as soon as I clean all the painting supplies out of the room.

Monday afternoon we went to Wade and Janna's for swimming and cooking out. Robert is one of Katherine's best buddies and she loves their daughter Laurie Jane so she was excited. She and I were there on Friday swimming so she was excited all day. When we were talking about it at lunch I asked her where she was going swimming today. I expected her to say at Robert's house but instead she looked at me as to say "duh" and replied "in the water".

Ben was more timid than I would have expected. He had fun with the tractor and tools though.

Janna did a great job of getting Katherine more excited about actually swimming. Last summer our lessons were cut short when we went to Norway but they were pretty pitiful anyway. Katherine tolerated the pool last year. This year she has fun playing on the steps and on the floaties but still is hesitant to go underwater. Hopefully we will spend a lot more time in the water and she will get even more comfortable in the water and enjoy it more.
