Some Friday Quick Takes


1. Not to be outdone by his sister, Luke has been swimming for quite some time now.  He just started one day. Just like that, which was exactly what his sister did.  I guess that's what happens when you live in Florida.  Here is a video (excuse the extremely poor quality).


2.  Luke took a fell, scraped his face and chipped his tooth yesterday.  It's not very obvious and I think it's of no consequence, but we will of course check with the dentist.  After a while,  I was examining his face and said in sympathy, "Oh Lukie, poor guy!"  He looked at me, trying to smile and hold back tears and said, "It's ok, mom.  I'm ok.  I'm going to be ok."  It was so sweet - it broke my heart.

3.  Kate "graduated" from preschool yesterday.  When I first heard that they "graduated" and that there would be a ceremony and all, I thought it was a bit silly and over the top.  I mean, it's just preschool.  I almost didn't even send her to preschool.  While I do still think that a bit, I must admit, the ceremony was really cute.  The kids prepared songs and were very proud of themselves and excited.



Kate had a hard time keeping her hat on:





And finally, a little Whitney tribute:



4.  Mark is almost finished with his 1st year at Pine Crest!  Pine Crest has been an wonderful blessing for us.   It really is an amazing school.  Recently, the upper school was ranked 2nd in the nation for college preparedness.   Dr. B is a big hit among both parents and students alike and we have been told by more than one crying parent, that he has changed their child's life forever.  I think it's true and I think it's safe to say that they have changed ours for the better as well.  More to come on this!  Maybe even from Dr. B himself.

5.  I know I promised you part three of Jack's birth story.  I promise you it will come.  I'm sorry I'm the worst when it comes to this stuff. :)

6.  Luke doesn't like to go to the bathroom outside of our house.  He, "only likes to go where it's safe and warm."  The other night we were at a friend's house and he had apparently been holding it for a while and finally went a little in his undies.  I asked him if he went in his pants and he said, "yes, but only a cute, lil' bit."

7.  We are getting super excited about Summer Road Trip 2012!!!  It's sure to be a Bullio road trip of epic proportions!
