They are both progressing very well. Luke started swimming lessons this morning. I am very proud of him, and his parents. You want to know how you are doing parenting, bring your kids to swim class for the first time. Its 99pct about control, 1pct about the water. His teacher reminds both Raegan and I of Col. Ingram. He is a crusty old vet. who holds nothing back when teaching people how its supposed to be. Luke was the only kid that didnt cry. Its me and him taking the lesson together. First, we poured water over their heads, then did a couple of floatie things, then back float, then dunking, and splashing. At the end of the lesson, the man took Luke from me, went a few feet away, stuck his face in the water and pushed. Luke swam to me, and came up clapping, very proud. He was used as the example of what the kids would be able to do over the next few weeks (on day 1!!!) After we left, we stopped for something to eat. His diaper was FULL. He apparently had plenty of pool water to drink. I'll get some video of it next week. I didnt know we could take pictures. Grace and Jack start their lessons on the 8th. They all had fun watching Luke, and are excited about doing it too. In other news, we joined the YMCA. cause its fun to stay at, apparently. You can do whatever you feel! We are excited. they have 5 of them in our area, and we can go to them all. I'll be bringing the kids in the mornings, working out, and playing. Then me and Raegan will go back in the evenings for classes on weekdays.

We took a ride on a riverboat, on the Tennessee river. It's just like New Orleans, except better in every way )
