Been a while

OK, well it's been quite a while since I've been on here. I've been quite the slacker. Honestly, I've just gotten busy doing other stuff. For the past month, I've had a terrible obsession with the Twilight book series. All I did for about 3 weeks off and on was read. Ask Aaron. It was making him crazy. Now I'm trying to play catchup on the house which needs desperate cleaning from the month of neglect it got. Then we've also been busy with Luke's soccer. We've all enjoyed it, but we're ready for it to be over now. Only one more week.... And then we also had our trip to Illinois to see Aaron's family. It's always a good trip and we enjoy seeing the family. When I get around to it and quit being lazy, I'll put some pictures on here from our trip. Now I'm in the middle of swimming lessons for Luke. He's doing very well and can swim by himself for short distances, but I have a hard time getting him to do it outside of swim lessons. He's not tall enough to touch in the pool, and he's become quite dependent on his arm floaties so he can just jump in and swim all over the pool by himself. The problem is, he keeps his head above water when wearing the floats, and as soon as they come off he totally forgets how to swim because he lifts his head and then the body sinks- he's nowhere near good enough to try to actually swim with his head up. So I try to make him go without the floats, but he gets tired quickly and it's not quite as much fun, so he ends up pouting and just getting out of the water entirely. So, I don't know how well the swimming independently will stick with him for the summer, we'll see. But overall we have a fun and busy summer planned. 4th of July weekend we'll go with my family to Great Wolf Lodge which is an indoor water park here in the metroplex, and then in July, Aaron and I are off to Europe!! We'll be in Germany and France for a total of 10 days, and we plan a one day excursion to Belgium to see my aunt and uncle. Anyway, so overall our summer is pretty full but should be fun. I'll try to catch up more here now that I don't have a book obsession keeping me occupied until late hours every night......
