Warm weather fun

The unofficial start of summer has been fun already. The weather has been great and the boys are having lots of fun.

Each day I feel better and better after surgery and slowly my energy is coming back.

I got the all clear from the surgeon, so I can lift my little guys again, I know Maks is very happy about that!

Memorial day weekend was filled with activites for the kids. Alek and Maks had their first fishing lesson thanks to Jeff and Daddy. Alek did great, he really surprised us at how well he was casting. So he is ready for some fishing at the beach. They both were fascinated by thw worms used for fishing, of course.

They had a blast at the annual picnic and parade at JoJo's house. Maks loved catching the candy thrown from some of the participants in the parade, he was sticky all morning!

Alek and Maks loved the slides and tunnel and moonbounce as well. Except we couldn't get them out of the tunnel, which held up the line, lots of dirty looks from some angry parents and kids waiting their turn, definitely one of those embarrassing mom moments!

Alek got to ride a pony as well, he loved it. He wants a pet horse now. At least that is smaller than the pet elephant he has been asking for lately!

Alek starts day camp this week. I can't believe it. It doesn't seem real that he is old enough for it. We are sending him two days a week for the month of June, he seems excited at all the new things he will get to do. They have swim lessons in the morning and then free swim in the afternoon, so that is what he is most excited about. I am nervous of course, hoping he won't be scared or shy in this new environment.

Maks' speech has really taken off lately. He has alot of two word sentences and so many new words each day. It is so fun to watch. You can see his frustration level decrease each day, now that he can communicate what he wants or needs. It has been easier too for the boys to play together, although Alek's days of blaming everything on Maks are over as Maks can now tell us who did what!

So we are looking forward to a fun filled summer and lots of time at the beach!!
