About a million years ago, it snowed. Finally! Lucy saw it begin the night before and could barely sleep from excitement. Dan was home since it was a Saturday, so we all got to play outside together.
Lucy is in swim lessons now...Infant Swim Resource to be exact. Its based on the philosphy that kids need to know how to save themselves from drowning before they need to know how to backstroke. Babies as early as 6 months have gone through this process-its amazing to watch some of the younger ones. We go every day for 10 minute 1 on 1 lessons for 6-8 weeks. We are currently on week 4 and Lucy is swimming under water and rolling over to her back when she needs to take a breath. Her confidence level has skyrocketed, and although I am not quite ready to throw her into the deep end and hope for the best, I am feeling better about her being in and around water.
That's Ms. Kennette, the instructor. She lost her own son to a drowning incident several years ago and has since dedicated her life to teaching kids how to save themselves.
Easter is fast approaching and since this is Lucy's favorite holiday, we have tried our best to make it last. She met one of her idols (THE Easter Bunny) at the preschool egg hunt. Lucy has for awhile now wanted to grow up and BE the Easter Bunny. Her plan at this point is to be a pink bunny, and Knox will be a blue bunny. She will carry the big eggs, and he will handle the little ones. This might sound a little whack, but considering that before that she wanted to be an Easter EGG, we feel like she is making steps in the right direction.
We have survived one double ear infection, a brief stomach virus (that was Dan's), a full week of barely any sleep (anyone who would like to have a come to Jesus talk with Knox is more than welcomed to), and we are now embracing spring and the events it has in store for us.
Happy Easter!

Good to hear how things are going- I love the swimming pics, and the story behind your instructor is so amazing.
The kids look great, ya'll look great- it looks like we're making a trip to Chattanooga, btw- thanks Dan...
Have a great weekend!
I commend Lucy for wanting to be the Easter Bunny. I hope she likes Carrots.
Love you all!
