I should have known...

...that if I put my blog address on Luke's birth announcements that I would jinx myself and then never update my blog.  Sorry!  I hope some of you are still out there checking occasionally and will actually see this.

I had told myself that after having Luke I was not going to put pressure on myself to blog because I wanted to spend my time enjoying my son and not all my time documenting him.  The blog had become another thing that I was always trying to cross off of my "to-do" list and I didn't want it to become just another chore...I want to enjoy blogging if I'm going to do it!  But I do know that it's a fun way to share with friends and family what we've been up to and also a wonderful thing to look back on to relive the details of the memories that I otherwise might have forgotten.  So I would really like to keep this blog alive.

Anyway, my new goal is to just blog when I feel like it and to not feel pressure to keep up with the blog if I don't have the time or the energy.  You may have noticed that my 101 in 1001 deadline was in April...let's just say I didn't finish!  I'm going to keep my list though and still knock them off when I get around to it.  We'll call it the "101 in Whenever I Feel Like It" list from now on!! :)  I've actually completed quite a few of the goals that I haven't blogged about and I'll try to catch you all up on them when I get a chance.

My neurotic self feels the need to go back to February 2010 (when all the sickness began and I pretty much stopped blogging regularly) and update you all on what's been happening month by month so that I don't miss documenting anything.  That's part of the reason I haven't blogged even though we've settled into a routine and I have more time now...I just didn't know where to start.  But tonight I decided there's no better time than right now and what happened today! 

So here are some pictures of Luke's first swim lesson tonight!  It was the first time he's ever been in a pool too. He's now 7 1/2 months old and he's in the 6 month to 3 year old swim class.  Trevor got in with him tonight and I looked like the paparazzi snapping pictures the whole time.  It was too TOO cute. 

I think Luke won the "Whitest Baby" award and Trevor won the "Worst Redneck Sunburn" award! Ha!  Trevor went to his parents' place to fish today and apparently wore a wife-beater tank top and got fried. 

Here's a video of them doing "The Hokey Pokey".  I'm not sure why it uploaded with such poor quality.  Hopefully you can still see what they're doing.

 

Until next time...hopefully it won't be another 4 months!   Comment and let me know that you are still here - maybe it will keep me motivated to keep updating.
