Pool Time!
Daddy and Ian spent Saturday morning in the pool, giving Ian his first real swim session. Ian loved it! The warm, shallow water allowed Ian to enjoy splashing around safely while having fun with Dad. Ian was clearly exhasuted from all his antics as his afternoon nap went well beyond his usual sleep time.

Fun in the Sun



Ian spent the afternoon playing in the back yard today. He needed his sun hat for sure, given the lovely weather and he was also glad to have his feet bare to tip-toe through the grass!

Connecticut Reflections ......
Ian had a great time in Connecticut, visiting with lots of his friends. We see photo's of Ian with Sue and Kevin and with Aunt Olive and Hugh who were among many who got to hang with Ian. Our title photo tonight is a close-up taken by Mom. And a very Happy Mother's Day for Sunday, Mom!

Spring Time Fun
Tonight we see Ian enjoying the sunshine out on the front lawn. He's discovered that the grass is nice and soft and is fun to play in but when his knees are bare, Ian really doesn't like to crawl in it that he has developed a technique to keep his 'bum' in the air so that his knees don't actually touch the grass. It's very funny to see, we can tell you!
