Hot Summer Days

The days have been so hot that the swimming pool looked real tempting. After the twins went to bed Dave, Caleb, and I took a dip in the pool and it sure felt great. Anyone want to come swim?? :)

Water Babies

Look at summer here comes the Crim Zoo splashing!!

Caleb

Each day in the summer I have "school" for Caleb while the twins are taking their morning nap. Each day we learn a new skill. I am so proud of him. Yesterday I introduced the letter A but we are learning the sounds first instead of the letter name. He could pick out the letter A in a book and say its sound. Today we went over our letter sounds and vocabulary and did math. He can count up to 21 and knows all his colors and most of his alphabet. I introduced patterns and he could tell me what was suppose to come next. He probably got 2 out of 5 but I was very proud of him. We learned about Adam and Eve during our Bible story and everything this week revolves around the letter A. He really thrives with structure and one on one time.

We are working on patterns. This was around 9:30 and we still haven't gotten any clothes on yet.

Early Father's Day Gift for Dave

The kids and I decided to spoil Dave this year since he has worked really hard on our house. We broke down and got him a new Plasma TV. Needless to say I made him promise to still stay productive and he said he would so everyone is my witness. :)

Remodled Bathroom

Many of you know that our house was a two bedroom two bath house until the twins came along. We didn't have anywhere to put them so Dave and his dad turned our garage into a bedroom. I am going to have to brag on them because it looks really good. Despite the new bedroom we didn't have a bathroom on that end of the house so Dave and his dad decide to make us one. I am so excited because they did a great job. Again, I am going to have to brag because the work looks like a professional. I guess that is one good thing about a perfectionist husband and father-in-law. :)

New Jacuzzi tub (very relaxing)
