Florida-Part 1

So, I know, I know...its been a long time since I've blogged! I have no great excuses except that we have been busy the last few months since we got back from Florida.  Well, I guess maybe the 3 weeks of constant sickness didn't help much.  And 4 weeks after we got back, Kevin went to Norfolk for training in which I got a horrible sinus infection and it took me 2 weeks to recover from that one.  We amazingly did really well staying healthy this winter, but March and April were pretty rough for us this year.  So, it is wonderful to be healthy in May!! 

We had a great trip to Florida.  We played outside, played games, and swam.  My brother and his family came down as well so there was lots of cousin time!! Yay!! We don't get to see them enough...we really never get to see our extended family enough!! But, we have seen them a whole lot more since we have been in Maryland! We also went to Disney this year...our first trip to Disney with the kids.  That was a very special treat and those pics will be for the next post!!

One wonderful thing this year was that I had success with the boys and swimming from this summer. I worked pretty diligently this past summer to teach them to swim.  Caleb is pretty water safe now and can swim in the deep end...I still keep an eye on him, but he's doing well. TJ has greatly improved as well and is taking breaths.  This year, I could take the boys to the pool and swim with them for an hour and then let them swim by themselves and sit in the sun! It felt like such a victory...I love to swim, but I must be turning into an old mama who needs to sit and rest some as well! It was so glorious!
