The Langs: March 2010

Ahhh, how we've missed the warm weather! We have been soaking up every minute of the sunshine, in between the rainy days.
Mason has started T-ball! He's had a few practices so far and really likes it. For those of you that don't know, he uses both hands equally, with everything, writing, eating, throwing. It really is quite amazing. He does however dominate batting right handed, but he can bat lefty! We've started with a right-handers mit (throwing right handed) and he does fine with it, but will occasionally take it off and try to put it on the other hand to throw lefty. We will see, but if he keeps this up, the Atlanta Braves may be calling soon!
Audrey is almost finished with her 1 year refresher of ISR (infant swim resource). She actually did well! She even smiled a few times! She has decided she going for the gold in backstroke. What's the age to enter the Olympics! :) To float correctly (this is the recovery position where you are supposed to rest while being still and breathe) you have to have quiet legs (or legs that aren't kicking). Audrey has picked up this habit where she kicks her legs while floating. The funny thing is, she is totally calm, relaxing, and can maneuver to where ever she wants in the pool. STINKER! Barb, her instructor has figured if she just keeps walking around the pool, Audrey follows her, on her back, kicking! Eventually, she gets tired and . . . FLOATS WITH QUIET LEGS! Everything is on her own time! We are in for it!

Yes, I still have an empty cabinet!

Floating with clothes (one of the checkoffs to complete her ISR training, because you never know when a child will fall in the water)

so cute!

Getting ready to give it a ride!

The last couple days, we hooked up the bike trailer and rode to a park close to us. It's a pretty cool park, all wooden. It's like a giant castle with walkways, slides and all kinds of levels.
