Last Day of School and Birthday Parties

Hudson's "last day of school" for the year was last Friday. He goes in the summer too, but this was technically the last day of the school year. Anyway, I am so glad I took a picture on his first day of school this year so I could compare. Here he was last September...

And here he was last Friday...

He has grown about a foot and just looks so much like a little boy now. It is amazing how much they change! It just reminds me how fast time is flying. The end of the school year marks a week off from school, so he is enjoying a bit of a break this week. I'm not sure Harrison has enjoyed his week so far (he's been sick since last Thursday), but I think maybe he on the mend. I sure hope so! This was the first time that he has had a fever for an extended period of time and while it was so sweet that he would lay on my shoulder for hours on end, that is not him. We get laughed at all the time because he is so wiggly. He's so hard to hold. Anyway, work has been insane for me lately, but I finally feel like I can breath again tonight...first night in a few weeks that I haven't worked until 11! It has been rough, but it is over and I plan on enjoying myself these next few days on vacation!

We have had a busy past couple of Saturdays. On May 12th, we had Haines' 3rd birthday party. They had it at the Lighthouse at the church, which was awesome! They started the party off with the fire truck coming and that was of course a hit with my little guy! He was not very kind to the others who wanted to hop in the front seat. He hogged it. After playing on the fire truck for a while, they went inside the gym where they had the bouncy house. The kids wore themselves out...it was fabulous! 
I love this picture! These boys are becoming fast friends. All I hear about these days is Haines this, Haines that...he loves him.
I also love the group shot on the fire truck! I love how you can never get all the kids to look at one time. They are all doing their own thing!
This past Saturday, we went to Caroline Draney's 3rd birthday party. It was a Kindermusic party and was so much fun! Caroline has been taking Kindermusic every week and had her teacher come and do a class with us.  I wish I had been able to take more pictures, but I had both kids by myself and it required adult partipation too, so I had my hands full. It was such a great idea though. The kids loved it!





We have also almost wrapped up swim lessons. They had their 7th of 8 lessons last night. I am totally blown away with these swim lessons. Last week, Hudson decided that he could swim on his own. The goal for these lessons was just to buy me some time in case he fell in...well, he is able to swim a little ways by himself. He was jumping in the water and turning around and going back to the wall, floating on his back, and is constantly underwater. It amazes me and scares me all at the same time! Ha! I think we are going to have to watch him like a hawk! Both Hudson and Haines are doing so well and it is going to be a sad day when these lessons are over. I'm not sure how I'm going to explain to Hudson that we are done. He is not going to understand.

Well there is an update over the past couple of weeks. Hopefully, I can be back on track with the blogging from now on.
