Swim and Gym!

What a weekend! Lucas and his friend Sam enjoyed their first Swim and Gym class together at the Santa Monica YMCA. All I have to say is, parents really will doing anything for their kids, especially if it involves a swim cap and a bathing suit! The boys enjoyed the first part of class singing songs and "tumbling" on the gym mats and they were even more excited to be in the pool for the second part of class. They loved splashing, floating, and even being "dunked" underwater. It was only towards the end when Lucas' three teeth started chattering.

Clearly, Lucas is showing early signs of what teams he's loyal to. He is his daddy's son!

Doesn't Lucas look like such big boy now that he can wear a baseball hat! Flash back 7 months or so. It's hard to believe.

Labor Day Weekend: No Labor, Only Play

To start our Labor Day Weekend and get our final ya-ya's out before the official start of the school year, we went down to El Segundo for a play date with Sarah, Jeff and Sam. Lucas and Sam shared their sitting skills with each other and had some great chats and shared secrets about how to take advantage of their parents. After that, we walked down to the local park for some Extreme Swinging...

On Sunday, the Dean Family checked out the Long Beach Aquarium. Despite the crowds, they had a really fun time, especially (you guessed it) Lucas who even went on his first merry-go-round...

Back to School!

Well, faculty weeks have come to a close and now we are enjoying one last long weekend before officially starting the school year with students. Thanks to Grandma Dean and Uncle Greg, Lucas is starting off his school year with a super cute new lunch box. As you can tell, he clearly LOVES it.
